Videos for Period 7 and 8

Students in period 7 and 8,

Here are the links to the two videos you will need for the Compare & Contrast and Ethos/Pathos/Logos part of your assignment.

Video 1: The Most Beautiful Way to Stop a Bully (Folks, this is the one from the newscast bullying video. You do NOT need to re-watch it, but it is here for reference.)
Video 2: Bullied Girl Voted the Ugliest on the Internet Gives an AMAZING Speech

While you're watching these, be thinking not only of how they apply to the assignment you've been tasked with, but also consider how these apply to your novel.

I can't wait to discuss this with you on Thursday!

Miss Frank
