Project Number: 101195789 — ERASMUS-EDU-2024-POL-EXP-DIGITAL ✓ Explain: "Now that we understand how screens affect us and have tools to help, it's time to make a personal plan. A pledge is a promise to yourself—not about being perfect, but about being intentional." • Individual Creation (7 min): ✓ Students create their personal Screen Balance Pledge with 3-5 specific promises. ✓ Encourage them to think about: o Balance: How will I mix screen time with other activities? o Boundaries: When/where will I NOT use screens? o Breaks: How will I take pauses during screen time? o Awareness: How will I check in with myself? o Connection : How will I protect face-to-face relationships? • Creative Element (8 min): • Students design their pledge as a mini-poster, infographic, or decorated card. • Option: Create a simple illustration or border to make it personal and memorable. • Encourage students to display their pledge somewhere visible (desk, bedroom mirror, phone wallpaper). Materials: Pledge worksheet/cards, colored pencils/markers, decorating supplies. IV. Evaluation & Closure (5 min) Closure Activity: The Ripple Effect Format: Students sit in a circle (or remain at desks for larger classes). Activity: • Each student completes the sentence: "This week, I will..." sharing ONE specific action they will take to promote screen balance. • Examples: "This week, I will put my phone in another room before bed." / "This week, I will take a breathing break when I feel like scrolling." Key Message: • Teacher concludes: "Remember, screen balance isn't about being perfect or giving up technology. It's about being MINDFUL—noticing how screens affect you and making choices that support your health, happiness, and relationships. Small changes add up to big results. You've got this!"
