SCHOOL VIOLENCE AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT WEBQUEST
http://www.biopoint.com/WebQuests/BA1/Welcome.html
A webquest on school violence for senior high students. "Rolias Lake is a pristine hunting and fishing resort area in central Wisconsin located three hours north of the state capital, Madison. This small community has only one high school, Jefferson Community Unit District High School. On May 15, 1998 at approximately 12:15 pm a sixteen Jefferson High School student, carrying at least two guns, opened fire in the Library / Resource Center and killed two students and the Librarian, while injuring several others. Calling this a copy cat crime, police have released the following details to date: The 16 year old accused of the crime has been described by friends, teachers and fellow students as a loner and a hunting aficionado. Physically, he is small for his age and a little over weight. His girlfriend had just recently broken up with him, and several students had overheard him more than once proclaiming that she would regret her decision. The girl was one of the two students killed in the assault. Meanwhile, members of this small community, still reeling from the shock of this crime, and having buried three of their own, have begun to put enormous pressure on the state legislature to significantly revise existing state gun legislation.
In response the Wisconsin state legislature has formed a special, joint committee to hear both sides of the debate over this proposed ban. Given special powers of subpoena, the members of this committee have summoned representatives from various interest groups in the Rolias Lake area to present testimony before they vote to recommend or not recommend a full hearing before both houses of the legislature."

The target audience of these PSA's are adolescents ages 8 - 15. Ultimately, your team's task is to create a PSA that examines teasing and bullying and its effect on young children. Remember: PSA's should be informative and persuade the viewer to action -- not to tease or present concerns to a teacher if being teased, etc. Your PSA should be at least one minute in length, no more than five minutes.
Your team's PSA can take any form that your group desires: newscast, docudrama, play, puppet show, interview, testimonial, or music video." Note: We found a lot of broken links on this site. Good
