Bullying Informed Opinion

My expectation is by now, you have developed a more informed opinion on the topic of bullying.

Today, you're going to start writing your informed opinion.

The question is: What should this country do about the bullying problem?

You can tackle the question directly or you can tackle a smaller portion of the question, like cyberbullying, or bullying by girls, or the role of bystanders, or bullying by coaches, or what are the schools' responsibilities?

Aim for about a page. You should back up your arguments with evidence.

Here are the sources you've been exposed to in the last couple weeks. Use this as evidence, along with personal experience:
- the readings about Phoebe Prince
- the cyberbullying stations
   - cyberbullying facts
   - how much are schools responsible?
   - when do words become a crime?
- the poem you read today
- the discussions we have had in class about bullying
- the bullying facts you found from making the video
- the two exemplars (Carrie Ann and John Amaechi)
- empathy you have from making the video
- what you felt/heard/said at Town Hall
- the bullying book you read/are reading
- the documentary we watched, called "Submit"
- the TV show we watched with Anderson Cooper about bullying
- other notes in your folder
