Anti-Bullying Reflection
In this activity, students will develop and apply responsible decision making skills to address bullying. Students will watch an anti-bullying video in their Gather.Town classroom. In their assigned groups, students will discuss the questions asked in the video. They will record their responses on an assigned Google Slide deck. Each group will share their responses with the class. As a class, students will reflect on what they learned.
