Activity 3, question 7:
In the larger conversation about bullying, what have others said?
Locate a recent article or other piece of writing about
bullying published on the Internet, such as a blog. Be careful to evaluate the
resource before you select it.
Is it from a reliable source? If the Web site is associated with an educational organization, the U.S. government, or a reputable newspaper or magazine, the chances are it is reputable. For example, one of the articles in your packet came from the Web site of the national Parent-Teacher Association (PTA); that is a reputable source, and you can probably trust the information in the article. A blog written by an individual that you know nothing about or a site that offers “shocking bullying stories” is less trustworthy. Will the article help your group write its anti-bullying guide? For example, a site that provides quotes about bullying without giving reference information will not be helpful since you will not be able to use any quoted material without references. Survey the text. If it is a useful and credible source, add it to The Larger Discussion of Bullying (our Google doc). Remember to write down all the information about your source, including title, author, publisher, date, and Web site if applicable. If the article you located does not seem reliable or will not be useful for your writing group when you write your anti-bullying guide, continue searching until you find a relevant article from a reliable source. |
