Malware are programs, such as worms and viruses, that include malicious code—code written with the intent
to harm, destroy, or annoy. “Code” is a term for the language(s) computer programs are written in. It tells
the computer what and how to do things. Malware can attach to e-mails and carry out programming that can
cause computers to work improperly.
Working in collaborative groups, students engage in a short research project on a specific type of malware. They create multimedia presentations that integrate multiple sources of credible information and include source citations. As experts on the subject, students define aspects of digital security and inform on how the audience can better protect their computers and devices from malicious code such as viruses, Trojan horses, worms, and spyware.

Here are some things you can do to keep your computer safe and keep it from being a
threat to other computers:
1. Make sure a firewall is installed on your computer. If you aren’t sure, ask your parents. A firewall
prevents information from entering your computer without your permission.
2. Keep your computer updated (download updates for your operating system regularly)
3. Install anti-virus software on your computer, keep it updated, and most importantly—USE it.
Students review what they already know and understand about malware. They examine cyber security issues ranging from a personal to national level. Students create and publish a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to inform others of the steps to prevent cyber security issues. Students accurately use domain-specific words and phrases in their PSA.
Students build knowledge and understanding of malware and cybersecurity protocol through close reading of informational text and collaborative discussion. Students also use graphic organizers to aide in comprehension. They practice informed decision-making by responding to a series of cyber security scenarios.

Unit - Grade 7: Cyber Security
Students examine specific types of malware to discover how e-mail attachments, files and programs downloaded from the Internet affect computers and devices. They then learn how to protect their computers and information from security threats. Students come to understand that school policies and guidelines aim to prevent digital security issues, and they develop a cyber security action plan. As evidence of their learning students write a narrative that depicts a cyber security situation while accurately using domain-specific terminology.
Lesson - National Student Watch
Students come to understand that Homeland Security threats impact school safety. They review their school's emergency action plan and weigh in on its strength and weaknesses. They then recommend improvements to the plan, incorporating references to digital communication channels in both detecting and responding to threats.
