Social Media , Media Literacy + Digital Resilience
NEW 2026 DfE RSHE GUIDELINES COMPLIANT (see lesson plan included for details). A digital resilience PSHE lesson which examines what happens when we take social media too seriously, don’t think critically and build our lives around what we hear online. The lesson encourages critical thinking and speaking to trusted offline adults before taking advice from Tiktok or any other social media site. Students will investigate how to build emotional resilience. The lesson also examines trauma, and how to recognise whether we really are suffering from trauma, or whether we are experiencing normal (albeit stressful) teenage life.
This is all new content (2026) and all editable. The lesson will last you an hour and is aimed at KS4 but could be used with KS3. Taken from the new 2026 EC Publishing Complete PSHE Package.
Activities are scaffolded, there is a detailed and colourful PowerPoint, clip tasks with questions and answers, information pack, worksheets, literacy tasks, creative tasks, signposting to further help agencies and charities, clear outcomes and also partnered activities. Includes optional assessment sheet, lesson plan and written scheme of work that the lesson is taken from.
It is fully editable, engaging and very easy to follow.
