Lesson: Searching for a story on a real world Mean Person

Bulying hurts and exists in many walks of life. Even chickens bully each other. “What if the kid you bullied at school, grew up, and turned out to be the only surgeon who could save your life?” (quote by Lynette Mather)

YOUR AIM: Searching for information to extend your ability to write knowledgeably in your film essay.
1) CHOOSE an issue that interests you from the THEME page
2) FIND a news story about that issue
3) READ the story and condense the information into a manageable couple of sentences 
4) WRITE the sentences down and hand in to your teacher.
 

EXAMPLE:
1) I have chosen BULLYING as an issue that interests me in the film.
2) I found the following news stories. I searched for stories about mean behaviour as well as just searching for the terms "bullying" and "bullied". 
3) Click on the links to read the stories

Teen kicks homeless man to death
NZ 2nd Worst for Primary School Bullying
Bullying Blamed for Teacher Stabbing
Teen Denies Killing Boyfriend After Row
Vicious Beating at Hastings High School
Teen Slashes Sister's Throat
Boy of 13 Murders Auckland Shopkeeper
Two stabbing incidents in South Auckland

4) I wrote the following summary sentences by using one main news story but linking in information from another story so that I would have some statistics.
New Zealand has a poor reputation for bullying as it was ranked second to last in a list of 37 countries. Bullying behaviour, if left unchecked, can result in serious pain or even death. As in the case of Stephen Churchis, a 17 year old who kicked a homeless man to death. He was probably seeking to make himself look strong in front of his peers. Often people who act like bullies have themselves had a difficult childhood.
