Upstanders and Bystanders

It's all about this word:

In order to make our school an even more positive and caring place, all Lakeview students will be participating in lessons on how to respond to cyberbullying. 
Who has the power to stop cyberbullies? The teachers and principals, the parents,  the targets/victims, the bullies, or those who share and laugh at the mean posts--the bystanders?
1. View the short video with that question in mind: What will it take to stop cyberbullying? Who has the most power to stop it?
 

2. Partner Discussion: Who could have helped Jane? What actions could they have taken?

3. View the second video as an introduction to upstanders:


4. Read this webpage Stomp Out Bullying  with your group to learn more about the differences between bystanders and upstanders. After reading, respond to the question on the classroom stream:

Explain the difference between a bystander and an upstander? Why does being an upstander require bravery?

5. Go to your classroom folder. Open and complete the Cyberbullying Lesson with your group. (You can make a copy of the document from the link if you are not in Ms. Rainey's class).

6. Complete the two part quiz on your own (at the end of the lesson document).

7. Create a poster that educates the viewer on how to respond to cyberbullying.
