I want to develop a project about bullying.  It is a huge issue all around the world, and somehow it needs stopped.  I would like my students to create Citizen Journalism projects on how they would stop bullying.  The worst part of the bullying in the 21st century is - Cyber Bullying.  It is a horrible part of bullying because anyone will say and do things online and through social media much easier than in person.  This type of bullying, along with every type of bullying, must come to an end. I would like them to search online for articles on bullying.  Also, I want them to view Anti-Bullying Blogs - as well as Anti-Bullying videos, movies, or magazine articles.  I want them to interview people to help them really see the affects.  Then I would have them create a digital story on how they would stop bullying or why bullying is bad.
