To This Day...


As we discuss the theme of cyber-bullying in health, we are coming to find out what it is, what does it look like, and what negative effects it can have on a variety of people. We all must practice what we preach, and this is a great video to help keep us on track!! We watched this in class, and I encourage you to show others whom you may feel would benefit from watching this video. On Monday, I will ask us to post our thoughts and reflections from this video at the bottom of this post. (If you see this before Monday, by all means get started early...)



Inference task video for those not done!

On your graphic organizer you are to come up with atleast three difference inferences based on this video. Goodluck. Hand this in tomorrow!
