- In this assignment, we chose a topic prevalent in teenagers. We chose the topic "Teenagers and Self Harm" meaning teenagers that hurt themselves for various reasons. It could be from depression due to bickering parents or even from bullying. To complete the project, we formed a Think Tank group with people in our table and first researched articles about our topic. Then we took notes and put those notes into our Prezi to show our statements about the topic. We also had to make a video relevant to the our topic so to create that video, we interviewed our classmates some questions on what they feel about self harm. We used iMovie and Windows Movie Maker to edit the footage and add some music and a more detailed explanation/solution to our topic.
- This assignment was first really fun to complete and second helped us keep up with any current events. It also allowed us to present to an audience a little more freely which is a perfect preparation for college since college classes will make us present many presentations to an audience.
- I now know that teenagers hurt themselves because they can either want attention or are depressed. Their depression can be caused by various reasons. Some include family problems, parents that constantly argue, peer pressure, or even bullying. The best ways to solve this madness is to find something else to do whether it is riding a bike, taking a warm bath, or even talking out their problems.
- In this assignment, we were given a topic that was bothersome in most schools. It is bullying. Kids and teenagers are always bullied and this is a frequent problem that is difficult to stop. To complete the assignment, we had to research a few articles and take notes on it. We put those notes into our Prezi and even watched a few videos and did a map all about bullying. Then we created a video that ties into our presentation and to do this, we created almost like a stop motion video with narration and the video was about light bulbs that get bullied by bigger light bulbs. The video included ways to stop bullying as well.
- This assignment helped me understand how often bullying happens in schools and what people should do to stop bullying from happening and when it starts. I honestly think the best way to stop bullying is to not influence any kind of bullying in the classroom. Treat everyone kindly and warmly which can most likely make everyone closer in the classroom.
- I now know that bullying can happen anywhere. It can happen online, at school, at home, etc. I now know that bullying can be taken way too far towards the victim, causing the victim to be in serious depression and possibly suicide.
