About Module 4AFocus: Reading and Research
Students explore adolescent brain development and the effects of entertainment screen time on the brain. Students read informational texts to build background knowledge about adolescent brain development in general. They then begin to focus on the issue of screen time and how it may affect teenagers. Students evaluate the soundness of reasoning and the sufficiency and relevancy of evidence in argument texts and media. They dive deeper into first potential benefits and then the potential risks of screen time by participating in a robust research project. Students finish the module by writing a position paper, and creating a visual representation of their paper.
