3.  Think about who takes these roles in the
KONY2012 Project before we watch the video.
Think aloud, who is each one?
 The victim is the one who is exposed
 The bully/bullies start the behavior and take
an active part in carrying it through
 The followers take an active part but do not
start the behavior
 Supporters/Passive bullies support the behavior
but do not take an active part – Who?
 Disengaged onlookers watch what happens but
do not take a stand – how come?
 Defenders of the victim dislike the behavior
and help or try to help the victim – think about
who this is in the video?

4.  Please watch the Video on the link provided.
Many of you have heard recently through social
media about the KONY2012 Project, now let’s
get informed and discuss it and see how it
applies to us and what we can learn from it.
 Watch first:

 Video - Watch first 18 min rest for Thurs
 http://www.kony2012.com/
 Discussion Questions to follow on how it relates
to us.

5. Do you believe any of these to be true in the
video? How does it relate to the NHACS
community?
“Everyone has some responsibility for
everyone”
“Community begins with the person next to
you”
“We’re all in this together”
“The more I listen, the more I hear”

6. A lot of young people are behind this
campaign, why do you think so?
 It has been said that your generation has an
understanding of what is means to interact
and to help each other on amore global
basis, do you think you all have a different
perspective on a global community, and why?

7.  Take out any materials for homework and/ or
to study.

8.  Finish up Film from 19 min- 27 min
 Ask yourself, should you believe everything you
see and hear from the internet? Read compelling
article from Huffington Post

9. After watching the video, we know that this
inhumane behavior took place for 26 yrs.
Butwe each have a voice- that voice can be
used to help support others or to hurt others.
 How did this happen in the video?
 Are we helpful to others when they may
need help or do we ‘mind our own business’?
 What is the reason people don’t get involved
or mind their own business in conflict?

10.  Discussion
 Great video, but are we 20 years too late?
 Some say that KONY is getting weaker and his impact
has lessened, so how much of a threat is he today?
 Only 32% of the money that Invisible Children gets
goes to children in Africa, the rest is used towards
films, marketing, bracelets, etc. Are the funds being
used correctly?
 Finally, should we necessarily believe every thing we
see/hear on the internet through social media? How
can this be dangerous/ helpful through the past
(protesting in Egypt)and in the future?
 What can we do to become more educated on news
or viral media that we hear in the news, FB, twitter?

schools nationally, as well as in NHACS

number one priority!

13.  “New Heights Academy establishes that
“bullying” is the act of treating someone in an
aggressive or intimidating manner over a period
of time. Bullying can have the effect of
physically harming a student or their personal
property, demeaning a student or group of
students, or interfering with students’ learning
or the orderly operation of a school. Bullying can
occur through gestures, written or verbal
communication (including electronic), or physical
acts. Bullying may or may not be motivated by
actual or perceived differences in race, color,
religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, age,
weight, sexual orientation, gender identity or
expression, mental, physical, or sensory
difference or disability.”
