8th Grade- The Next Step

Your partner or triad group is now going to take your skits/speeches and record them on a phone, then design a slideshow and quiz on bullying prevention for younger students.


The slideshow will be on google slides, which is like Powerpoint.
You will also make an accompanying quiz, either on google forms, embedded in the slideshow, or a worksheet on google docs. Be creative. What kind of quiz would you want to take?

You will research five bullying prevention strategies and include them in your presentation. Cannot use Wikipedia.

Keep it clear and simple on the slideshow and quiz. It is for eight year old kids. You will need to make some inferences about your audience and summarize your research.

To Summarize

• record skits and speeches
• put them in a slideshow on google
• make a quiz for kids to go with your slideshow
• use research to support your ideas
• stay focused on prevention strategies for bullying

I will schedule time with the computers in the class for each group. You may use your own devices, pending classroom behavior.

Bullying Project

8th Grade

 We will explore the theme of "Bullying."

In partners (2), you will either create a three minute speech or a three minute sketch to illustrate the problem of bullying. You will create a narrative (story) which illustrates the theme of bullying. You will perform your skits or speeches to a class of younger students to help prevent bullying.

What should you do to represent bullying as problematic and show a solution for young students?

• Scenarios where students stand up for other students
• Scenarios where a student seeks help from an adult 
• Scenarios that happened to you (you can change it a little so no one knows it's your story)
• Scenes where we witness what a bully goes through before they bully
• Scenarios of a kid who bullies and then regrets it

There has to be a positive message, a piece of advice, something that can help prevent bullying in younger grades.
