**__ Initial proposal.. __**** Dasia **

For my SAP I am writing about bullying and the violence that happens in our society because of it. I know that bullying is one of the major problems in our school systems to today & possibly one of the main causes of violence in schools. Many teens have fallen victim to it and it has caused both the person being bullied and there loved ones around them emotional and physical harm. //You have a lot of good areas for research here--statistics on bullying, and the effects emotionally and physically on the victims and their loved ones.//

Kids should have more punishments and consequences for bullying. I would like to see teachers and prosecutors hold more teens who bully accountable for their actions. I would also like to see more people come together and try to stop bulling in the system because if we don’t more violence will occur among or teens and possibly hurt our community. Another result that would be great is having teens be more educated about the effect that bulling other children has on our society and the people around them. // You have a lot of different ideas right now. Your next goal will be to come up with a really specific solution in the intermediate reflection. //

With this research I want to alert people about the effects that bullying is having on our society today. Also how it ties in with a lot of the violence that is occurring among our teens in schools and other places in the community. I also would like to give a solution and attempt to persuade people to act on the issue quickly. This research will open the eyes of many who don’t know what is going on in the systems today and hopefully motivate them to stand up & speak out about the problem.

I will need 8 for my solution paper. How many of these sources need to be: 1 book print source, 3electronic materials database, other? (Interview, survey, ECT.) I will need 1-4 other sources and no more than 3 websites. Where will you look to find these sources? I will look through books, database and the computer. What steps will you take to find these sources? The steps I will take to find my research will be to get on line and use the search engine ton find information about my topic. I will also go through books from the BHS library and read about my topic and come up with some possible solutions to my problem will than take notes and from my notes come up with a rough draft of what I want to say in my paper and after I will type it up and present my findings and solution to the class. I will complete my initial solution paper by 5/13. I will need 42 note cards for my solution paper and I will complete my note cards by 5/19 //Completed note cards are not due until 5/27 now.//

//Dasia, this is a good topic. There should be a lot of information on it because it's very current right now. The challenge will likely to be coming up with a specific solution to the problem.//

The first source is okay, but I would say look for better sources than sites like Associated Content because they pay all kinds of people to write articles so the quality of the articles and authors can be really unreliable. The second source is much better. The third one is okay, but I wonder if it is connected with your topic enough. Good job on the annotations.

I would like to see more consequences for kids who bully actions’ would hope that the bullying in schools will decrease, and the violence that comes from the effect of bullying would completely seize. Kids should be more educated about bullying also. __

Explain why or why not Yes, there are already many solutions that are already out there that have been tried and her working. So I believe that my solution is very feasible. __
