Help your students become responsible, kind, and safe digital citizens with activities inspired by the new middle grade novel Finally Heard by award-winning author Kelly Yang. Students explore pros and cons of social media and online communication, analyze online safety habits, and create posters to support kindness, respect, and empathy online. Share the family letter to help parents and caregivers continue the conversation at home. Students will enjoy the story in Finally Heard, but you do not have to read the book to use the activities below.
Your opinion is important to our program sponsors, and to YMI. We depend on your input to continue providing free educational resources that make a real difference in the classroom.
