Day 2: What's life like in my shoes?
Goal:
Students will learn about bullying in the news and take on the perspective of someone being bullied
Process:
- Read articles about bullying at http://www.bullyonline.org/news/chldnews.htm and learn about school violence statistics at http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/yvfacts.htm
- Discuss with students about how bullying has become an important worldwide problem. Notice the number of British websites devoted to the problem.
- Have students select a story to research on the Internet.
- Students should identify the situation, the bully, the victim, and the actions taken by the school or government. They should also discuss if they feel the school's action was adequate.
- Students can work in a group to create an interactive skit where each member of the group writes a monologue from the perspective of one of the parties involved in the bullying. They can present their monologues and afterwards the class can ask them questions about the situation that they might want to know. The students presenting should stay in character while they are interviewed by the class.
