Title: Screen Use Forum
Course: BC - English 7 - 2.0.0.0

After you have completed your Screen Journal, including your screen-free day, create a forum post where you reflect on your experience and share it with your classmates. Some examples of the types of things you could talk about in your forum post may include:

- Information about and reflection on your screen time on the day that you had the most screen time recorded
- What it felt like to keep track of your screen time
- Whether or not you changed your normal habits because you were recording your time
- What your screen-free day was like, including feelings or thoughts you had before, during, and after
- How you think your screen use habits impact your health or your identity
- Any decisions or commitments you would like to make about your screen use from now on

You should include some information about how your thinking has changed. For example, you could say, “Before I started my screen-free day, I thought that it would be really hard. Once I had completed it, I found out that it was not as hard as I thought.”

Your forum needs to be in proper paragraph format, with a topic sentence, supporting details, and a concluding sentence. If you would like to split your post into more than one paragraph, you may. The total length of your post should be between 150 and 250 words.

After you have created your own post, explore the posts of your classmates. Try to read at least five of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of them in a short, encouraging response. Try to connect with your classmates by saying things like, “I felt the same way…” or “This is what it was like for me too, because…” Your response posts will not be graded, but please remember to be respectful and kind, no matter what you say.
