FEFE Identity Theft Lesson

This lesson, which takes a minimum of 180 minutes, allows students to interact through a skit that helps them define identity theft, discover ways in which an identity can be stolen, develop ways to protect themselves, lessen the likelihood of an identity theft, and determine what to do if they fall victim to this crime. It provides a complete lesson plan, including introductory material for the instructor, objectives, relation to national content standards, “Mystery of the Stolen Identity” Skit, a PowerPoint presentation and note-taking “graphic organizer” for the students, links to the FTC video on identity theft, numerous handouts, including a protecting your identity “closing activity” worksheet, and rubrics for an identity theft essay, identity theft commercial, identity theft song and identity theft brochure (if assigned).
