=Morris' Guiding Activity =

**__Guiding Question__:** What is bullying?

**__Guiding Activity__:** After taking a bullying pre-test to assess prior knowledge (see Karyn Lorang's Guiding Activity), student groups will conduct research to determine what bullying //is// and what it //isn't//. They will analyze the research in light of their own prior knowledge about bullying to come up with a list of the "top" misconceptions about bullying.

**__Student Instructions__:** Using the given sites as a starting point, research bullying until you become an expert. As a group, consider, evaluate, and discuss the opinions and research about which you read. You should be able to very specifically answer the questions, "What is bullying?" and "What //isn't// bullying?" Once you've gotten yourselves to "expert" status, create a list of the top misconceptions about bullying. Your list should include at least five and no more than ten misconceptions. Publish your final copy as a formal "Top Five" (or six, seven, eight...) list that uses clear, to-the-point language to __state the misconceptions__ and then __provide the realities__.
