Brand new for 2026 - how are AI filters and social media affecting our body image? In this lesson students delve into ‘filter dysmorphia’ - a new but growing phenomenon affecting the mental health of teens.
Students will investigate how filters are creating completely unrealistic beauty standards - and how with the help of AI, almost undetectable filters are being applied not just to images, but to the videos of influencers and peer social media users too. Students will discover what is behind ‘Instagram Face’, why everyone is starting to look the same as each other in their uploads and the effect this is having on social media users. They will also discover useful and practical ways to relieve any negative thoughts or dysmorphia and the real message of the lesson - the importance of being authentic.
Includes clip tasks, spot the filter edits tasks, literacy tasks and much more.
All editable, will last one hour, suitable for new 2026 RSHE guidelines.

About This Resource
This comprehensive, ready-to-teach scheme of work uses Banksy’s iconic street and protest art as a rich, culturally relevant springboard for deep literary and visual analysis. Designed with the IB Language & Literature course in mind, it is equally well suited to any A-Level, GCSE, or high school English or Art & Culture unit that demands critical thinking, analytical writing, and creative response.
Across 13 carefully sequenced lessons, students move from first impressions and biographical context through to essay planning, scholarly research practice, and a hands-on stencil-making creative project. Every lesson is discussion-rich, written-task-heavy, and built around Banksy’s most thought-provoking works — making abstract analytical skills feel urgent, exciting, and genuinely relevant to students’ lives.
