The Plan You will be writing stories for
younger students on an Internet safety topic.
3
All Right Lets Get Started

• Today were going to review what we learned from
  our second i-SAFE lesson on cyber security.
• Lets see if you can answer these questions!

4
Question 1

• What is e-mail?
• Take a moment to discuss the answer as a class.

5
Answer
Electronic mail received while a computer is
online
6
Question 2

• What is a virus?
• Take a moment to discuss the answers as a class.

7
Answer
A malicious computer program designed to cause
harm.
8
Question 3

• How can you get a virus?
• Take a moment to discuss the answer as a class.

9
Answer
You can get a virus through infected programs,
discs, etc. However, the most common way is
through e-mail. Viruses are included in
ATTACHMENTS. And are downloaded accidentally by
the user.
10
Question 4

• What are some ways to prevent virus infection?
• Take a moment to discuss the answer as a class.

11
Answer

•         Always run virus protection software.
•         Never open e-mail that you dont expect
  or that is
• from someone you dont know.
• If you receive e-mail that has an
  attachment, dont
• hesitate to verify that the person meant
  to send it.
• If you do decide to open the attachment,
  make sure to
• save it to your computer first so it runs
  through the
• virus program.

12
Question 5

• Besides viruses, what other types of malicious
  code are there?
• Take a moment to discuss the answer as a class.

13
Answer
Worms and Trojan horses are also examples of
malicious code.
14
I hope you learned something I know I did! That
was a great review.
15
Its time to pass out the activity pages.

• Then lets continue on

16
All right Everyone have an Activity Sheet?

• Good! Your task today is to write a short story
  designed to teach students in a lower grade about
  what you just reviewed.
• Im going to help you out and show you how to get
  started.
• You can follow along on your activity sheet.

17
i-SAFE also has lessons for grades K-4. However,
these lessons are a little different. One
example is that younger students have a character
named i-Buddy. (An example of i-Buddy
is at the top of your activity sheet). By having
this character, younger students relate better to
the material.
18
Another difference is in the level of the
material presented to students in lower grades -
younger students dont get all of the information
that you get on the same subject. For example,
if you remember your lesson on Cyber Security,
you learned about Flame e-mail and Spam.
However, in the lower grades, students focus
mainly on computer viruses. - Why do you think
that is? Students in lower grades are just
being introduced to the information and dont
know as much about it. Additionally, they have
little or no experience with spam or flame
e-mail. The most important goal for students in
the lower grades is to be introduced to
information about viruses and prevention, and to
understand that they need to get help from an
adult if they suspect computer virus infection.
19
Can you be a storyteller???
Introduction Today you will become a
storyteller and a teacher. It is your job to use
the information you have learned to write an
educational story for younger students. This
activity sheet will help guide you in the
process.
Meet i-Buddy. He is a character used in all of
the i-SAFE lessons for grades K-4.
You can use him in your story too!
20
Use the questions on the activity sheet to help
you brainstorm for your story.
Before you start, here are some things you
should consider.
1.Know your audience!!! Keep in mind what grade
level you are writing for. Dont use words they
wont understand. Keep sentences shorter and
simpler.   2.Explain things! Dont expect
everyone at that grade level to understand e-mail
or viruses. Some may have never even been on the
Internet before. Break things down so anyone
could understand. 3.Make it interesting! Write
a good story. Have a plot. Use different
characters. What do you think would appeal to
your audience?
21
Some More Things to Consider
4.Before you write, plan what you will say. Have
an idea of where the story is going, who the
characters are, and what you want to teach. That
way you have a roadmap for writing the
story.   5.Rough Draft?!? Take time if possible
to write a simple rough draft. Use this to make
sure you include everything you want. That way
you havent wasted time illustrating a story only
to find out you forgot to mention viruses.
Also, this way you can proofread and
perfect!   6.Most of all Have fun with it. If
you are having fun writing it then chances are
the students will have fun hearing the story.  
22
So Get Started!

• Do your best on these stories! Use your
  reference sheets to make sure you remember
  everything.
• When you are finished you will trade papers with
  a classmate and use a checklist to make sure you
  wrote a good story!

23
How Do you Know When Youre Done?

• Have you
• 1. Completed your group review?
• 2. Written your story?
• 3. Shared your story with a classmate and used
  the checklist provided?
