Think Before You Send

Students read a narrative passage about a misunderstanding caused by a message sent in a group chat. The story highlights how missing tone, context, and facial cues can lead to hurt feelings and damaged relationships. After reading, students answer comprehension and reflection questions that deepen their understanding of responsible digital communication. The worksheet helps students think critically about word choice, timing, and emotional awareness before sending messages online. It also strengthens reading comprehension, inference skills, and SEL awareness related to digital interactions.
