Learning Goals
Students will be able to formulate a focused question about how one screen habit relates to attention, mood, or face-to-face interaction and select a structured method that fits the question.
Students will be able to collect and document ethical, organized evidence about a tested healthy screen habit using journal observations, simple measures, source notes, and community partner feedback.
Students will be able to analyze patterns and differences in evidence about screen habits, attention, mood, and relationships to draw a warranted conclusion and identify concrete limitations.
Students will be able to engage in collaborative discussions and role-plays using active listening, turn-taking, eye contact or another culturally appropriate sign of attention, respectful responses, and conflict-resolution strategies.
Students will be able to differentiate how images, graphics, audio, video, and presentation styles influence an audience’s understanding, tone, and response to a screen-balance message.
Students will be able to create and revise an ethical multimedia explanation that uses attributed evidence to communicate a tested screen habit, an observed attention or mood change, and a strategy for stronger face-to-face relationships.

Screen Habit Investigation Notebook and Multimedia Evidence Story
Each student develops a question from a short teacher-provided menu, documents a structured test of one healthy screen habit, and analyzes journal data, age-appropriate sources, conversation practice, and partner feedback. The notebook culminates in a short multimedia story comparing a screen-based interaction with face-to-face communication while protecting personal privacy and distinguishing observations from proven causes.
Attention and Connection Investigation Poster Presentation
Teams synthesize members’ evidence into a tri-fold or digital investigation poster with simple graphs, source findings, embedded audio or video, a relationship strategy, conclusions, limitations, conflicting findings, and a next question. Teams revise the presentation after peer and community partner feedback and present it collaboratively at the Attention & Connection Expo.
