Informational Text: Bullies and Bystanders

This quarter, we will be focusing on reading text for information, and using that information to answer questions and solve problems. Bullying, for instance,  can be a problem in middle school, but it doesn't have to be.  It all depends on the bystanders--those who witness the bullying.
1. We will begin our study of bystanders with a poem written for three voices, or speakers. We will then devote ourselves to the current research on the important role of bystanders in a bullying scenario.
You will find the poem in your Google classroom folder.

Types of Evidence:
2. Informational text often includes a variety of evidence. Listen carefully to the following presentation.
Be looking for different types of evidence in the article:
"Do You Have What it Takes to Stop Bullies?"




3. Read the article "Is Facebook Making You Mean?" Analyze the article for the types of evidence used. Record the types of evidence on the document in your Google classroom folder.
