This lesson examines the viral campaign, “Kony 2012,” to explore the impact of social media on the world. “Kony 2012” became the first viral video on YouTube to achieve over 1 million likes. The lesson then introduces the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) militant group and the violent conflict in Uganda. The online campaign “Kony 2012” was designed to raise global awareness about the issues in Uganda. The activities are engaging for students, and the guided 5-E format is easy for you to use! Everything you need is included!

 

Start with an “I Spy..." political cartoon warm-up, followed by an introduction to vocabulary and key concepts. Fill-in notes accompany the lesson. Next, explore the influence of the internet and viral videos on cultures worldwide. Watch the “Kony 2012” video while students answer video questions. Finally, a “Big Ideas” activity encourages your class to evaluate whether the social media campaign was successful.
