Teach the lesson

1. 3 min · Connect

   Read: An online player asks Ren to meet at a park. Keep the scenario calm and fictional.

2. 4 min · Model and say

   Say: Do not arrange to meet an online contact or share where to find you. Model telling a teacher about the request.

3. 8 min · Practice together

   Use the meeting warning on page 31 and helper picture on page 35. Students practice a help sentence; do not ask them to name actual meeting places or routes. Read the worksheet aloud and let children respond by pointing, speaking, circling, or drawing. Use optional coloring only if time allows.

4. 3 min · Discuss

   Invite two different responses. Ask: What would you do? Why could that help? Use the answer guide on the next page.

5. 2 min · Check understanding

   Ask: What are two things Ren should avoid? Look for arranging a meeting and sharing location.

Mark your observation: □ Independent   □ With a prompt   □ Needs practice. If a child needs practice, demonstrate the same action again and offer a new example in the next class. This is a teaching check, not a safety certification.

Make it work for your learners

Support: Read aloud, point to two choices, model one response, and accept a gesture, spoken answer, drawing, or partner scribe. Do not require independent reading.

Extend: Ask the child to invent one new pretend situation for today’s goal and explain a safe response to a partner.

Family conversation

Identify whom your child would tell about an online request to meet.

No personal information or signed homework needs to be returned.

Teacher care note

Use fictional situations. Do not collect passwords, addresses, or private experiences. Offer an alternative to role-play. If a child shares a concern, listen calmly, avoid public questioning, and follow school procedures.
