How many times a day do you text? Approximately how many hours a day do you listen to your iPod or MP3 player? 4 Jewelry that your youth will make and wear. Check with several youth and ask them to help you choose the supplies for this activity. FOCUS: Form a circle.

The questions may be repeated. Continue until every person has answered at least one question and the group is all “wired” together. Sit down, but remain wired together. Discuss the answers.

Does it improve or distract from their ability to communicate with others? Are they more wired to their technology or to other people? Are those mutually exclusive? Cut the string that connects the youth but ask them to keep the strand around their wrist. Continued... |
