Cyberbullying
About the unit plan
In the good old days, bullying took place face to face. Kids would be afraid to walk home from school, knowing that their bullies could be waiting around the corner. However, in the safety of their own homes, they could feel confident that the bullies would not enter. Today, it is not possible to escape the bullies. They are everywhere on social media, and some of them may even have your phone number.
In this unit plan, you will work with netiquette, cyberbullying and online trolling. You will learn about the consequences of cyberbullying from someone who has experienced it firsthand. You will also study different types of trolls and discuss how to deal with them.
