After the Story
Have students compare their choices and the endings they reached.
- Remember some students may have played the story several times and reached different endings.
Next, have students access the student chapter Questions and have students answer the questions in the Structure Strip activity.
Have students share their answers:
Which choices did you make the first time?
How did you feel about those choices?
Which choices were harder to make than others?
Have you ever had to make choices like the ones Sasha made?
How were your choices like Sasha’s? How were they different?
Which choices turned out to be good ones?
Which choices turned out to be bad ones?
How was Sasha able to make things better after making bad choices?
Now ask students to connect the scenario with their own experience:
- Have you experienced a situation similar to this before?
- If so, how did you handle it?
- Based on what you learned, how could you have handled it differently?
- Have any of them played Cyber Choices before? If so, what might have changed since the last time they did?
Depending on your class, it is possible that not many of your students will have a smartphone. If that is the case, you can ask them:
- Do any of your older siblings or other relatives have smartphones?
- What kinds of things do they share with them?
- Do you expect that phone might be passed down to you?
- Do your parents ever share photos of you?
- Have there ever been times when you wished they hadn’t?
- What are some other things that you do share online? (For example, maps or games on platforms such as Minecraft or Roblox.)
- Are there things you have to be careful about sharing on those sites or when you’re chatting or messaging with people online?
