# Slides 3.9: Digital Footprint, Online Relationships, and the Stress Plan

Slide outline for Lesson 3.9. Twelve slides. Slide 8 carries the who-to-tell list; Sal fills in names and rooms and checks the list against the school's technology policy. Slide 11 shows the two example stressors from the Lesson 3.7 exit strips; Sal fills those in the morning of the lesson. The Stress Plan runs in the last 10 minutes.

## Slide 1: Digital Footprint, Online Relationships, and the Stress Plan

- Lesson 3.9: Self-Concept, Peers, and Stress
- Unit 3: Growing Up, Getting Along
- Do now, private: about how many things did you post, send, or like yesterday? Now guess: how many of those could a stranger find or be shown? Two numbers
Notes: Hands if the second number was zero. A few will go up.

## Slide 2: Sand and cement

- Footprints in sand wash away
- Footprints in wet cement do not
- Everything you send online is closer to cement, because anyone can screenshot it
- Today: what is public, who is real, and when to log off
Image: two side-by-side panels described in words: footprints on a beach at the waterline; footprints pressed into a gray sidewalk square.

## Slide 3: Digital footprint

- Everything about you online, including what others post about you
- Lasts, or close to it: posts, comments, photos, likes
- And any private message the other person screenshots
- Deleting removes your copy, not theirs
Notes: Students fill Part 1.

## Slide 4: The image you send, online version

- Appearance: your photos
- Words: what you type
- Nonverbal: emojis, timing, what you like
- Behavior: what you do when someone is being picked on
- Same four channels as Lesson 3.5. The screen does not change them
Notes: The one people forget they are sending is the nonverbal channel: likes and timing.

## Slide 5: Two applicants

- Two students apply for the same volunteer job. The coordinator looks both up
- One feed shows a person who helps: a team photo, a thank-you comment, a post about a food drive
- The other shows a person who mocks: a joke at a classmate's expense, a pile-on comment, a laughing emoji under a fall video
- The second student is kind in person. The feed did not show it
- Was it fair? Did fair matter to the coordinator?
Notes: Both students are fictional. Do not let the room guess who "it really is."

## Slide 6: Online friends, offline friends

- Both are real when they have the same things: honesty about who they are, respect, the freedom to say no
- Red flags: will not video call; says they are your age but the details do not add up
- Asks you to keep the friendship secret from adults
- Asks for photos, or to meet
- Any of those is a "tell an adult," today
Notes: A question you did not plan for will come. Answer the general version; send the specific one to the counselor with you.

## Slide 7: Group chats

- They move fast. Jokes land wrong without a face. A pile-on can start in thirty seconds
- Read it twice before you send it
- If you would not say it in the cafeteria, do not type it
- Leaving a chat is allowed
- Six scenarios on Part 2: healthy, unhealthy, or log off and tell
Notes: 8 minutes with Part 2. Grade 6 and IEP/504: four scenarios.

## Slide 8: When to log off. Who to tell

- Log off when: the chat is setting off your body signals (3.7); it is past your sleep window (2.6); an argument has gone three messages with no one calmer; someone is being hurt
- Tell an adult when: anyone asks to meet or for photos; a screenshot of someone is going around; anyone talks about hurting themselves or others; you are scared
- Who: the counselor [Sal: name, room]; the technology coordinator [Sal: name]; any teacher; the office; an adult at home
Notes: Reveal the scenario key: 1 healthy; 2 log off and tell; 3 healthy; 4 log off; 5 unhealthy pattern, notice it; 6 log off and tell, do not forward. Thumbs for five or six right. Whiteboard: "A screenshot of a classmate going around: which category?" Log off and tell, with a person.

## Slide 9: The Stress Plan

- The check for this topic. 10 minutes. On your own. Quiet
- One stressor (by category or general description; no names)
- Two tools from your toolkit card, and when each fits
- One person to talk to (a role)
- One boundary with your phone, and why it would lower your number
- [Sal: if the school has a phone policy, say it here and ask for a boundary outside school]
Notes: Read the rubric on slide 10 aloud before they start.

## Slide 10: The mini rubric

- Stressor and tools: one stressor, two tools from the card, each with a situation (3). Add your before and after ratings for a 4
- Person to talk to: a role, with one sentence on why that person for that stressor (3). Name a backup person for a 4
- Phone boundary: a specific time, chat, notification, or place, with one sentence on why (3). Add what will make it hard and what you will do for a 4
- 12 points. One retake after a conversation
Notes: The rubric is printed on page 2 of the handout. Say: check your plan against it before you hand it in.

## Slide 11: Two example stressors (from your exit strips)

- Most common category in this class: [Sal: fill from the 3.7 strips, for example "S: school, a test week"]
- Second: [Sal: for example "F: friends, a group chat argument"]
- These are examples. Your stressor can be any category
- Sentence starters: "When ___ stresses me, I will ___." "I can talk to ___ because ___." "My phone will ___ at ___"
Notes: Start the 10-minute timer. Collect at the timer.

## Slide 12: Closure and next week

- On the back of page 1, turned in with the plan: "The one thing from this topic I will actually use is ___"
- Next: Topic 3.3. Listening, I-messages, and how to fix a fight without losing the friend
- Keep the toolkit card. It comes back in the babysitting lessons too
Notes: Ask in Lesson 3.10's do now whether the phone boundary held.
