What are your favorite and least-favorite things to do with digital media?  
Do you connect with others or create things with digital media?  
What are the positive and not-so-positive aspects of having digital media in your life?
 

My media life is like a ____________________, because ___________________________________.

 
 

My media life is as ______________________as a ________________, because ________________.

 
Sample responses:

My media life is like a window onto the world, because it allows me to see all kinds of new things and imagine other possibilities.

My media life is like a party where I meet a lot of different people, because it feels loud, out of control, and yet fun.

My media life is as tempting as junk food, because I don’t always know when to say no
