CYBERBULLYING PROJECT & BULLYING SCRAPBOOKS:

HOW CAN WE ADDRESS THE SOCIAL ISSUE OF CYBERBULLYING BY EDUCATING OTHERS AND CREATING PRODUCTS TO SHARE OUR PASSION & KNOWLEDGE ON THE ISSUES? 
We will create products that deal with bullying and cyberbullying and create an original product that reflects our knowledge and creativity about these important social issues.
PART ONE: 
Cyberbullying-Fractured fairytale: Goldilocks and the Cyber Parents: Interactive read aloud:  
http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/parents/Goldilocks.pdf
http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/kids/index.html
For more info: http://www.stopbullying.gov/cyberbullying/
http://kidshealth.org/parent/positive/talk/cyberbullying.html
Cute videos: http://www.netsmartz.org/NetSmartzKids
REQUIRED: CYBERBULLYING PACKET: You will read, summarize and respond to at least five articles about this topic including this one (USE CORNELL NOTE TEMPLATE TO ASSIST YOU):
http://www.dogonews.com/2015/2/15/taiwans-new-law-imposes-fines-on-parents-that-allow-kids-to-spend-excessive-time-on-electronic-devices
https://newsela.com/search/#/?needle=cyberbullying
FOUR DOUBLE-SIDED JOURNAL ENTRIES HANDWRITTEN OR ONE AND A HALF PAGE 12 SIZE FONT TYPED PAGES THAT INCLUDE PERSONAL REFLECTIONS OF YOUR REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH BULLYING AND CYBERBULLYING. 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)
Got another idea? Ask your teacher!!!
​WE WILL CREATE A RUBRIC TOGETHER IN CLASS THAT WILL BE POSTED.

​RUBRIC SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FOLLOWING:
•    Content: Connection to the world, myself, or another book, character-based idea, theme-based idea
•    Elaboration: I supported my thinking about the story
•    Presentation (including completeness)
•    Organization: My writing is in order and stays on topic
•    Language Usage: I used exciting words and added voice
•    Mechanics: Capitals, Spelling, grammar, and punctuation
•    WHAT ELSE: HAVE YOUR TEAM DECIDE-COMPLETE BY MONDAY AND WE WILL COMBINE THEN BUT YOU MAY BEGIN CONSTRUCTING YOUR PRODUCTS
