This A-level scheme of work is based around the effect that the internet, social media and smartphones have on our lives. There are ideas for devising and improvisation, all of which can be adapted to suit all specifications. The work explores how we portray ourselves online; asks why people choose to escape into an online world and looks at some of the pitfalls of putting ourselves online.
