In order to get the information to teachers in a <br /> timely manner, it is important to finalize the essay question for this year's contest at the August <br /> 15 meeting. The following question was drafted at the last meeting: <br /> What is your definition of bullying? <br /> Provide an example of when you or someone you know was bullied. <br /> What can be done to stop and prevent bullying? And what can you do? <br /> The Commission discussed at length the wording of the question and specifically whether to <br /> include an introductory paragraph. Commissioner Eichenlaub volunteered to brainstorm on the <br /> introductory paragraph and have the question reviewed. The following question was submitted <br /> by Commissioner Eichenlaub: <br /> How would you define bullying? Give an example when you or someone you know was <br /> bullied. What can be done to stop and prevent bullying? Are there actions you can take <br /> to stop bullying? <br /> Recommendation <br /> The Commission should finalize the wording of the question and determine if an introductory <br /> sentence or paragraph is needed. <br /> 1 <br />
