TRUE or FALSE? Trolling someone online is not deemed a crime and cannot be punished with a prison sentence. A survey of 13 to 18-year-olds found 12% said they were targeted because of gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability or transgender identity. More than four in five (82%) of children have seen or heard “online hate” in the previous 12 months, with 41% suggesting it had become worse since 2019. Children with disabilities and those from black, Asian, Middle Eastern or other minority ethnic communities were more likely to see online hate.<br>

‘Trolling someone online should be made a criminal offence with a prison sentence. People who commit this wicked crime have no consideration for the emotionally damaging, ignorant and sometimes fatal consequences of their actions.’ Write an article for a newspaper in which you argue your point of view in response to this statement.<br>

Now let’s revisit Imagine ISMELL Think back to the week before lockdown began. In our English lesson we lightly touched upon Imagine ISMELL. What do you remember about this strategy?<br>

‘Imagine ISMELL’
Imagine: 3 worst-case scenario, dystopian Imagine statements in opening paragraph using figurative language.
Individual: How are you personally affected?
Society: How is society affected by this?
Morality: What are the moral implications?
Economy/Environment: How might the environment or the economy be affected by this?
Legal: What are the legal implications of this?
Link back to your 3 dystopian imagine statements to create a circular structure. This time contrast the opening Imagine statements with 3 best-case, Utopian Imagine statements.<br>
The perfect Utopian, best-case scenario imaginable… Imagine, Imagine, Imagine…
The realistic, worst-case scenario imaginable… CONTRAST The Sun Won’t Come Out Tomorrow
Imagine a day at the beach, sprawled out on the golden-rich sand, soaking in the scorching sun rays. Imagine the refreshing salt water lapping hypnotically at your feet as it glimmers with pride from the sun’s spotlight. Imagine the palm trees showing off their foliage proudly to a myriad of birds and insects that nestle in their protection.
Now imagine an ominous shadow bombarding the sun’s rays like a merciless playground bully; now imagine darkness; a thick, ebony blanket of fumes blocking the sun’s final projection of hope. Now imagine the palm trees, wizened and bereft of foliage, host to dead and decaying wildlife.
This is our stark reality. The truth. The facts. I am here to rip you from the bed of lies and manipulation which you so comfortably rest upon and open your eyes to the harsh, suffering world we now live in… Look how contrasting positive and negative Imagine statements can work beautifully…<br>

Don’t let those sadistic trolls get away with such inexcusable online abuse!
Imagine a world where you could visit all social networking sites without fear of a group of faceless, invisible predators stalking your every post and feasting on your vulnerabilities like vultures; imagine a world in which all your ‘online friends’ were indeed actual friends and not sadistic, Machiavellian ghouls haunting your every move at school and plaguing your every thought at night; imagine a world where all teenagers, no matter what their background, colour or sexuality were not judged mercilessly for being their own unique selves. Sounds idyllic, idealised and Utopian-like, right? Sadly, this vision is simply a pipe-dream; an unrealistic thought that in our current society is quite frankly an impossibility, don’t you think? What techniques has this individual used?
Are they

Most effective headline? Which is the most effective from the following list? Discuss with a partner on the table closest to you and be prepared to feedback your answers… Quarter of teenagers subjected to online trolls Trolls just want to have fun! There’s an internet troll hiding in all of us Who is that trolling over my bridge?<br>

What about your headline/ title? Now it’s your turn. Can you create 3 different headlines for the online trolling article. For example: one could be an alliterative headline; one could be a rhetorical question and one could be a list of 3 powerful adjectives… 3. 1. 2.<br>

Whilst we watch, make a note on your paper of anything important she shares with us. For example, how has the fame of being in a world-famous girl band being both a positive and negative experience? Be prepared to share your ideas and feedback with the class… ‘Odd one Out’ – Jesy Nelson<br>
