Sheldon Middle School 7th graders studied how the line between what’s real and what’s fake can become blurred in today’s world. As part of the unit, they read an article about the real lives of influencers.
On October 16, Heather Crawley visited to share her experience as an influencer. She explained how she creates videos, topics she covers, and brought merchandise she has successfully promoted. Heather also described how she partners with companies and emphasized that she only features products she genuinely likes. She hopes to be known as a reality-based, honest influencer. Her presentation was informative and tied in perfectly with the article students read.
