Lesson Plan

Common Sense Media: Education: The Reality of Digital Drama (6 8)

Curated by ACT

Learners discuss their impressions of peer drama, both online and as depicted on reality TV. Students compare and contrast two videos - one featuring a candid discussion between middle school learners about online drama and the other featuring clips from The Real Housewives reality TV series. Students are encouraged to analyze generalizations about men and women in both videos, and to think critically about the ways that gender stereotypes can play out in mass media, as well as in their own lives online.
