Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

OVERVIEW: We all make choices every day about the media we consume and create. But do kids understand what makes a media choice healthy or not? Hint: It's about more than just screen time. Use the activities in this lesson to give kids a framework for making informed media choices. OUTCOMES: Students will be able to - Learn the "What? When? How Much?" framework for describing their media choices. - Use this framework and their emotional responses to evaluate how healthy different types of media choices are. - Begin to develop their own definition of a healthy media balance.
