Seminar Group Project

Divide participants into multiple groups with each group taking 10—15 minutes to develop a list of negative social media messages. Upon completion, have groups exchange their lists, with groups taking 10—15 minutes to develop defensive measures to effectively counter the negative social media messaging. Meet as a group and discuss the negative messaging identified by the groups and the tactics developed to counter the negative messaging.
