UNIT 10 6 Writing 54 Lesson objectives: • Use too and (not) enough • Write a reflective journal about digital habits 1 2) Work in pairs. Look at the photograph. Do you think it shows a good or a bad example of a digital habit? Explain your answer. Read and listen to Amany's reflective journal entry about her digital habits. What does Amany think about the digital habit in the photograph? E This week at school, we're talking about digital habits. I thought about how, when, and how often I use digital technology and I realized that my digital habits are quite good. For example, I never watch videos or look at my phone for too long in the evening. I usually read a book in the hour before I go to bed instead to give my eyes a rest from looking at a screen. I also don't spend too much time looking at a screen during the day either. It's usually 15 hours a day. That's enough time to reply to messages from friends when I relax after school, but it isn't too much time. I have one bad digital habit though. I sometimes look at other people's photos on social media and compare myself to them. I know that you only see the highlights on people's social media profiles, but sometimes lecking at these profiles makes me feel like I'm not good enough. I'm going to stop looking at other people's profiles and comparing myself to them from now on. 3 Answer the questions about the journal entry. 1 What does Amany not spend too much time doing? 2 What does she think she spends too much time doing and shouldn't do at all? 4 Look at the photo again. Make notes on your answers to these questions. Then compare your notes with a partner: 1 What: What activity is the girl doing in the photo? 2 When: What time of day do you think it is? 3 Where: Where is the girl right now? 4 How: How do you think the girl feels? How do you feel when you look at the photo?

⑤ Read the Writing tip and then think about what you would look like in a photo of you using your phone or computer, or playing video games. Make notes on your good digital habits, your bad digital habits, and how you could improve your digital habits. Using visual input as a prompt for writing When you write reflective journal entries, you often need to think back to what you did, where you were, or how you felt in the past. Looking at photos of you or photos of things you saw or did can help you to connect with those past activities, places, and feelings. This makes it easier for you to write about them. If you can't look at photos when you're getting ready to write a reflective journal entry, think hard and try to bring helpful images to your mind instead. ⑥ Write a reflective journal entry about your digital habits. Use your notes from Exercise 5 and the expressions in the Useful language box. Write 100-120 words. 7 Read your journal entry and answer the questions about it. If your answer is 'no', change something in your entry. a Did you describe your good and bad digital habits? yes no b Did you explain how you could improve your digital habits? yes no c Did you bring helpful images to your mind when you were planning your text? yes no d Did you have correct spelling and punctuation?
