At the beginning of class we practiced our listening skills. We found a partner and talked to them for one minute while they said nothing, and then we switched so we had to listen. After that we moved on to chapter three in our class assigned book. Chapter three is about schools and society, but we spent most of our time talking about bullying and cyber bullying. We then watched a movie called bullied. The movie was a true story about a young man from Wisconsin that was bullied in school because he was gay. He recounted all of the struggles he went through with the school faculty that would ignore the fact that he was getting beat up, and the emotional struggles he dealt with during that period. I then when home and ordered a free copy online for myself.
Today I watched the movie bullied and as a future teacher I plan to combat bullying by educating students on how words and actions mean alot more than they think. I think less people would be bullies if they knew how bad they made people feel.
