Online Relationships: Respect and Consent

In this lesson, students use mind maps to explore concepts of “respect” and “consent” in an online context. They consider a wide range of scenarios that shed light on different aspects of consent relating to digital media and draw on those to create a detailed definition.

Finally, students create a digital story in which they illustrate one of the aspects of consent or one of the “sneaky excuses.”
