Thanks, Bobbi, for an interesting lesson. I love how you used the multimedia in it. Even though the Black Eyed Peas song wasn't part of your lesson per se, it fit perfectly, and I'm sure the fact that you're up on the music scene goes a long way with your students.
It was interesting how we gravitated toward the race issue with the pictures of the Crypts leader. Somebody said that if we emphasize your point of how bullying can change a person with unintended (negative) consequences, it makes a powerful point with little controversy. Maybe if there were also an African American image of someone who was bullied and had a strategy or intervention that helped him/her to make a positive change in their life. Whatever the method, your overall message that the audience has the power to change a life was powerful.

Bobbi,
ReplyDeleteAgain I have to say I love the approach to your content and students.
You incorporated so many genres of communication into this lesson and, obviously, into your class room.
I believe you've taught this old dog some new tricks.
Thanks.
