Conclusion
•Write a skit with a script using these characters: parent(s), teacher and/or principal
(depending on how many people are in your group), student being bullied, and student
who is bullying and create one of two situations:
• A situation where the student experiences cyberbullying and handles the
situation correctly (goes to the right people, talks to parents, etc.)
• Alternatively, a situation where the student experiences cyberbullying and
handles the situation incorrectly (doesn’t mention it to anyone, deletes nasty
emails, etc.)
•Develop a power point with at least 5 slides that highlights the major points that your
skit has.
•Hand in your script and perform your skit in front of the class.
•After your skit, present your power point to explain the major points of your skit and to
educate the rest of the class on what cyberbullying can do to people and how to
properly stop it if it starts.
