The Marketplace of Ideas--day 6

Instead of making a tri-fold poster, I decided to make a PowerPoint. Yesterday when I was researching, I came a cross a short trailer that captures the essence of the documentary film, Bullied. It is a very powerful and moving message and I feel that it can stimulate a good conversation of the topic. I plan to show this video in addition to bullying statistics, effects of bullying, and anti-bullying efforts through a power point. At the marketplace of ideas, there will also be the petition that Michelle and I made. The petition says "I will pledge to... Be aware of my action and how they will affect other people. Understand that bullying is a serious and relvant issue and the only way to stop it is by being informed and educated about the issue. Prevent bullying by treating others thet way I want to be treated and by standing up for people who are being bullied by others.  Today in class, I started to get signatures and worked on my PowerPoint. I also hung up some of the fliers for the publicity campaign.

The Marketplace of Ideas-- day 5

Today in class, I made the campaign flier  for the publicity campaign. It has to be approved and then Michelle and I will hang all the signs throughout the school. I also started to plan my idea to present the information at the Marketplace of Ideas. I am going to use a tri-fold poster in order to display the most significant information about bullying. In addition, Michelle and I are are going to start making a petition so that people will start recognizing the issue of bullying.
