4. As you watch the video a second time, please do the the following… 1)Pull one line from the video that speaks to you and write it down. Feel free to use the handout of the poem to get the wording right. 2)Describe why is it powerful. Why does this particular line hit home for you? 3)What does this line say about bullying and the friendships we choose to keep? Make a connection between this line and something you’ve learned in our Friendship unit.

5. Creative Representation Once you have completed the written component, it’s time to get creative! You are going to create a visual representation of this quote using your selected line from the poem. …. let’s look at some examples

You have the remainder of class today to work on this project. On the reverse side of your design (or on a separate piece of paper) you must include your answers to the previous questions: 2) Describe why is it powerful. Why does this particular line hit home for you? 3)What does this line say about bullying and the friendships we choose to keep?
