danah boyd, a leading social media expert and researcher at Microsoft, studied how teenagers use social networks. She discovered that teens create a "digital body" to represent themselves online and spend time curating their profiles to reflect their real identities. The wall or comments section is crucial for maintaining friendships, serving as a public display of connection. Teens mostly use social media to interact with existing friends, often due to busy schedules, parental restrictions, or long distances. danah also explored teens' growing awareness of online privacy and visibility, noting examples like parents discovering unexpected behavior through tagged photos. As teens grow older, their online habits may change—something danah continues to explore.

Lee el siguiente párrafo y ayuda a Miguel a responder las preguntas.

Miguel has dreamed of becoming a musician since he was a child, even though his family has always banned music for a mysterious reason. For years, his grandmother has destroyed any instrument she has found in the house. Miguel doesn’t understand why, but his desire to play the guitar has grown stronger over time.

Before discovering the truth about his family, Miguel has believed that his great-great-grandfather was Ernesto de la Cruz, a famous musician. He watched all of Ernesto’s performances and had memorized his songs. However, when Miguel accidentally enters the Land of the Dead, he learns that everything he believed was a lie.

During his adventure, Miguel has met Héctor, who turns out to be his real great-great-grandfather. Héctor tells Miguel that before he died, he wrote many songs that Ernesto de la Cruz had stolen. This revelation changes everything Miguel has thought about his family and identity.

Thanks to this journey, Miguel has learned the value of memory, family, and truth.

Las anteriores imágenes muestran la detención de Nicolás Maduro.

En los grupos creados en la actividad “Think, Pair, Share” tenéis 1 minuto para decidir si estas imágenes son reales o no.

Estas imágenes son FALSAS, como ya han dicho medios como el New York Times, o RTVE.

En esta actividad vamos a aprender cómo distinguir si una noticia ha sido generada por la IA, o no.

Para ello debemos fijarnos en tres cosas

1. La fuente: ¿Quién publica esta noticia? Es una fuente fiable?
2. El contenido: ¿La noticia busca provocar una reacción emocional fuerte?
3. Los detalles: ¿Hay algo que resulte extraño o incoherente?

Paso 1.

Añadid las imágenes proporcionadas en Google Lens.

Cuando las busquéis, os aparecerán las fuentes que han subido esta noticia/imágenes. Rellenad la siguiente checklist:

• ¿La cuenta o web es oficial, verificada o conocida?
• ¿Aparece la noticia en varios medios fiables, o solo en una cuenta de redes sociales?
• ¿Se citan periodistas, instituciones o expertos reales?

Paso 2. 

• Fijaos en el contenido. Completad la siguiente checklist:

• Se usan palabras exageradas.
• Titulares muy llamativos que no se desarrollan bien en el texto.
• Falta de datos concretos (fechas, lugares, cifras comprobables).

Paso 3.

Ahora fijaos en las fotos.

¿Hay algo en la imagen, el vídeo o el audio que resulte extraño o incoherente?

• Rasgos físicos raros (manos deformes, caras poco naturales).
• Objetos que no encajan con la realidad (uniformes incorrectos, textos borrosos).
• Vídeos o audios sin contexto claro o sin fuente original.

Paso 4.

Ahora volved a las preguntas de reflexión. ¿Ha cambiado vuestra opinión en algo?

La profesora hará sonar una canción y debéis moveros por la clase comentando vuestra opinión sobre este tema hasta que la canción acabe.

Мета: закріпити різницю між Past Simple та Present Perfect, потренувати вибір часу в різних контекстах, розвинути граматичну чутливість.

A. LET'S READ!

Read the fable below carefully. (Bacalah fabel berikut dengan saksama.)

The Rabbit and the Turtle

Once upon a time, there was a rabbit. He was very proud of himself because he could run very fast. He often laughed at other animals because they walked slowly. One day, the rabbit met a turtle. The turtle walked very, very slowly.

"Hey, Turtle! You are so slow!" said the rabbit, laughing.

The turtle felt angry but he stayed calm. "Why don't we have a race, Rabbit? Let's see who is faster," said the turtle.

The rabbit laughed even harder. "You? Race with me? That's funny! But okay, let's race."

The race began. The rabbit ran very fast and left the turtle far behind. The rabbit thought, "The turtle is so slow. I have plenty of time. I can take a nap." So the rabbit slept under a big tree.

Meanwhile, the turtle kept walking. He did not stop. He walked slowly but step by step, he got closer to the finish line.

When the rabbit woke up, he ran as fast as he could. But it was too late. The turtle had already crossed the finish line. The turtle won the race.

The rabbit felt very ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Turtle. I laughed at you. Now I understand that being fast is not everything."

The turtle smiled and said, "It's okay, Rabbit. Slow and steady wins the race."

Moral value: Don't underestimate others. Keep trying and never give up.
