Anti-Bully / Upstander Poster Project

Posted on by

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.  Worth 150 points.  See Anti-Bully / Upstander Poster Rubric for details. Posters should be ORIGINAL: Pasting images printed from simply Googling the word “bully” or “upstander” will earn a LOW grade in “Creativity,” “Design,” “Graphics/Relevance,” and “Text” categories on the rubric. You must get approval from Borger before printing images from the computer.

Research Paper:  Students can choose to write a paper about bullying based on the information they’ve read & discussion we’ve had in seminar.  Papers need an introduction & conclusion, multiple body paragraphs, should quote multiple texts, and have a works cited page (we will learn how to do this in class). Students can do additional research, but those sources should also appear on their works cited page. Worth 150 points. See Bully Paper Rubric for details. (4-5 pages)

Both projects require a works cited page.  Posters and papers will need to cite where text  / images / ideas come from or are inspired by (a la the Sponge Bob poster outside Borger’s door).

Students will have time in class during the week of Tuesday 10/27- Monday 11/02 to create posters.  Students working on posters at home should bring something to work on in class those days.

Projects are due Tuesday 11/03.  Late projects will be docked 1-letter grade per day late and will not be accepted beyond November 10th.

Students may work in pairs but no groups of three or more allowed.  There is not enough work for more than two people to engage in.  Not everyone who wants to work in a pair will be given approval to do so; some people will need to work alone on this project based on class behavior on previous group projects or because Borger wants you to work solo for your own brain’s growth.
