Here's the websites I did:
My mom is a high school math teacher and gave some awesome additions to these two websites.
"I watched it. I like the clip. The other article has some sad stuff in it. I saw the star wars movie on youtube. That is terrible about him.
At our school, there was a site called Angleton Ho's. There were pictures posted of a lot of different girls posted and then hate words were posted. Sara, my TA, lost a friend because someone cut and pasted a picture of Sara's friend from her old myspace account and then accused Sara of putting the picture on the site. The girl's mom threatened to sue Sara and her parents.
Nicole, your cousin, has faced cyberbulling. Whenever she is with two girls, in particular, they text things about Nicole. They did it on the way up to the timeshare for Nicole's birthday, even. Sherrie took up their phones until the trip was over.
Cyberbulling is more harsh because there is no immediate nonverbal or verbal action. You can post something and it just sits there until someone notices. If you were to say the same mean things to their face, there would be an immediate response, verbal or not. It doesn't take courage to cyberbully.
In the ad, there are other people watching that take a stand. Because of the immediacy of the eye-to-eye contact of the jerky guy and the cool guy, things changed. I guess that is the difference...cyberbulling waits for its victims, and can instantly spread to millions before anyone is even aware of the problem.
Kids like to talk about their experiences. They all know someone who has been a victim of cyberbulling."
I think this went well, overall. I probably learned a lot more from my mom then she did from me, but that's what teaching is all about, right?
Good job on on this assignment!
