want to have on exhibition needed two posters. The
day and how I would like first ones discusses my way
to present it. of creating a song while the
second one gives the main
information about bullying
and the way music
impacted the World. I will
then be able to link
bullying with the way I can
make a change using the
research made and explain
the way I composed my
song. Additionally, I will
have a box, note cards and
pen for people to write
comments. I will write on
the box two main questions
that people might answer in
order to help me out: 1.
How did my song impacted
you? 2. How can you make
a change?
Lastly, I will be distributing
my blue bracelets with the
title: “Break the Silence” to
the people who answer my
questions or leave a short
comment in the box. I will
