I just finished watching the documentary Bullied, from the Southern Poverty Law Center, about the true story of Jamie Nabozny, a kid tormented in middle and high school because he is gay.
The irony of his being bullied is not lost on me as I read Anne's and Susan's posts about Speak (where a "Dr." is essentially bullying readers).
If you have not ordered this free documentary from Teaching Tolerance, do so now!
There is also a facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/BulliedMovie.
I am going to use this film tonight, instead of a short story, to talk about the levels and dimensions of setting (Smith & Wilhelm, 2010).
