Anti-Bully / Upstander Project

Prompt:  Students may choose from one of the following.

Poster Campaign:  Students may create a poster related to the articles / fact-sheets we’ve read.  Students may conduct more research as well.  Posters must be on big poster-board and must visually and textually represent ideas related to anti-bullying / upstanders.  These projects are worth 150 points.  See Anti-Bully / Upstander Poster Rubric for details.

Research Paper:  Students will take data from the “map bully zones” surveys conducted during 9^th hour. Students will write an essay discussing bullying (using data from the articles they’ve read), analyzing the data from surveys, and offering solutions for reducing bullying in hot-spots at SHS.  Solid essays will be presented to the principal / superintendent for future policy implementation. See rubric for details.

Both projects require a works cited page.  Posters will need to cite where text  / images / ideas come from or are inspired by.  Papers will need to cite articles we’ve read or other external research.

Students will be in the computer lab on Monday 11/10 & Wednesday 11/12 to collect data, type text to print, sketch out & draft poster ideas, or start drafting essays.  Students will have time in class during the week of 11/10 – 11/14 to create posters.  Students working on posters at home should bring something to work on in class those days.

Projects are due Friday, November 14th.  Late projects will be docked 1-letter grade per day late and will not be accepted beyond November 21^st.
