"The purpose of this survey is to find out about how students can help if someone is being hurtful to a student either at school or online.
It is your choice whether you want to do this survey. No one will be able tell which responses are yours. Try to answer all of the questions. But you can skip any that you do not understand, feel like answering, or are told to skip. This survey should take about 20 to 30 minutes.
In all of the following questions the words "be hurtful" or "being hurtful" include when someone:
- Says hurtful things or sends hurtful messages to another person.
- Says hurtful things about a person to others or posts hurtful things about someone online.
- Hurtfully excludes someone from participating in school activities.
- Physically hurts someone or their property, or threatens to do so.
Sometimes this is referred to as bullying or cyberbullying."
This is a terrific mini lesson from Barry Lane. He shows (not tells) how to explode a moment into a full page of rich writing. The visuals in this video will catch any student's attention. I've called this technique the Magnified Moment. It's also tied to the idea of using imaginary binoculars to really see the details of an event. Fun to watch, this video is part of "Barry in a Box", a book and dvd Barry is selling on his website: www.discoverwriting.com
