Bullying Awareness at DRS

This last month I had my student create anti-bullying PSAs for students at DRS.  They had really good ideas.  After they recorded their video they used Microsoft Movie Maker to edit and finish their videos.
We determined that bullying incidents will increase with awareness but we feel that comes from everyone being more aware of what is bullying.  Most people think that every mean thing done by another child is bullying. There are three things to look for; Repeated actions over time, There is a power imbalance, and  Intention of the actions.  Most students want to report bullying but are disappointed by the results, because they didn't meet the bullying requirements.  So the next time it happens they say "Its no use, the office won't do anything about it".  All incidents are treated seriously but sometimes they may not end up the way we want them to.

This one is mine so I could see what it was like to produce one,  I created it by using several clips from my students. 

Here are the videos that my classes produced.
