Lesson Overview: Students learn that cruelty can escalate quickly online because people are often anonymous and posts spread quickly. They view "What is Cyberbullying?" and fill in an Anticipation Guide. They view the video "Students Take on Cyberbullying", and work through a cyberbullying scenario. They view the video, “Ricardo’s Story – Making Fun of Others Online,” and identify the factors that contribute to online cruelty. Students then watch the video, “Stacey’s Story – When Rumors Escalate,” identify the roles of various players in the video, and describe what upstanders can do to lessen the effects of this online cruelty. Students then create diagrams on their Dial It Down Student Handout to show how online cruelty can either escalate or de-escalate. After the Assessment, they can play some games and/or read.
