Behind the Upload

Noor and Eli's tiny clay-animation channel suddenly takes off, and middle schoolers follow what happens next. Students match creator vocabulary, read short passages to infer and explain an idiom, figure out why a company emails them and what honest creators tell viewers about paid posts, sort comments by tone, spot a comment that asks for private information, use context clues to define a word, and decide which details to keep private online. Every passage, question and answer has a read-aloud button.
