DISCUSSION 5.2

Prior to the start of sixth period, you have been notified that one  of your sixth period students was allegedly using social media to  tarnish the reputation of another student. The sixth period class has  struggled with engagement to this point in the year, and now this  event will only make things more challenging. How would you approach  this situation? Would you use this as an opportunity for a class  discussion, create community, and improve motivation? Do you continue  your lesson as planned, as this is more of an administrative concern?  Explain your approach.
