MAKE SURE YOU CAREFULLY EXPLAIN THE EXPERIENCES. THIS MAY ALSO INCLUDE TEXT TO WORLD, TEXT TO TEXT, TEXT TO MOVIE CONNECTIONS. (They may be entries you already completed)
Choose a product to help stop cyberbullying & bullying:
SCRAPBOOK-This will include summaries and responses to all of the fiction and non-fiction reading we have done on this topic, (including our work with Patricia Polacco's Bully, Thanks Mr. Falkner and even Almost Home), your cyberbullying non fiction reading packet and work we did on fairness, groups and power. You may also include video responses and anything else that you think would enhance your presentation. Include your journal entries here, too.
Create and illustrate a children’s book that teaches kids about the hazards of cyberbullying (but remember to have a “happy” ending where main character learns an important life lesson).
Create your own brochure-pamphlet where you discuss what cyberbullying is and offer tips for others about how to stop it. Make it personal and relevant to kids at PS 165. You may connect to readings that we have done in class (but make sure to make specific reference to them and explain their relevancy)
