It is important that online safety is discussed with teenagers who might not always be aware of dangers, especially in a world in which more and more young people are spending more and more time online. This lesson addresses the topic of online safety in a motivating way, allowing students to discuss issues, share their opinions and ideas and then do some online activities to finish the lesson or as a homework task.

Students begin by writing some words the teacher dictates, then using them as prompts to guess the topic of the lesson.

When the topic is established students read a poster about online safety. They do a pre-reading vocabulary activity and two comprehensive activities.

If you have access to a data projector in your classroom you can show a video about internet safety, where the tips from the poster are introduced. The lesson concludes with a role-play activity. Students are given role cards with key information and language support.
