🧠 SEL Connections Guide for

Not Logan: How I Accidentally Became a YouTube Star
By Melanie Hunter

Grade Range: 3rd–8th
Ideal For: Classroom discussions, reading groups, homeschool enrichment, and advisory blocks
Purpose: Use humor and relatable storytelling to help students explore identity, resilience, and self-expression.

🟢 Key SEL Themes:

🎭 Self Identity and Authenticity

Logan struggles with being “Not Logan”—an online version of himself—versus who he really is. Readers reflect on the difference between how we present ourselves and who we are inside.

Discussion Prompt:

  • When have you felt like you had to act differently just to fit in?

  • What does it mean to be yourself, even when others are watching?

💪 Resilience and Growth

From failed collabs to flaming cookies and a baseball tryout that crashes and burns, Logan keeps showing up. His failures don’t stop him—they shape him.

Discussion Prompt:

  • What’s something you’ve failed at but learned from?

  • How do you feel when things go wrong, and what helps you bounce back?

🧠 Emotional Regulation & Humor

Logan often feels overwhelmed or embarrassed—but uses humor to cope. Students can explore how laughter can help process emotions.

Discussion Prompt:

  • How does Logan handle stress or embarrassment?

  • Can humor be a strength?

🤝 Friendship and Belonging

Logan’s friendship with Evan and his connection with fans show how important real, supportive relationships are—online and offline.

Discussion Prompt:

  • What makes a good friend?

  • How can you be a good friend even when someone is struggling?

✏️ Optional Activity:

Create Your Own “Not Me” Character
Students invent a character like “Not Logan”—a fun, fictional version of themselves who learns, grows, fails, and finds confidence in being real.

🧁 Closing Thought:

Even if you feel like just a background character in someone else’s story, you’ve got a voice, too—even if it cracks, crumbles, and catches fire on the way out. You just have to be brave (and weird) enough to use it.
