1. Work Title
1. Communicating Social Violence to Middle School Students
2. Executive summary - paragraph
1. Social violence is an occurrence that affects everyone, not just adults. We are bombarded in the media with data, articles and visuals of violences and the impact that it has on society as a whole. Children and adolescents do not yet have the capacity to process these events by themselves and will bring questions and concerns into the classrooms in different ways.  In our blog, we plan to briefly review different occurrences of social violence that has an impact in our world. We also be considering different age-appropriate tactics to have discussions with students in the classroom regarding social violence.
