Lesson Plan Title: Bullying skit with music.

Concept / Topic To Teach: Bullying

General Goal(s): To help students identify the different types of bullying.

Required Materials: The song “Walk in my Shoes” and people for the skit. And a source for the music to be played from.  Song can be played online: http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_10904279

Anticipatory Set (Lead-In): Tell students that they may not always realize the actions they do are forms of bullying. Students should think about how the person being bully feels and how it would feel to them if it was happening to them.

Step-By-Step Procedures:

Explain to students that bullying comes in many forms and this song and skit will help them identify different forms of bullying.

 Teach students the chorus of the song so they can sing along on the chorus.

Chorus

Take a walk in my shoes

And I think you will see

How it makes me feel

When you bully me

Have the students selected to perform the skit start and have them help the class sing along with the song on the Chorus.

- Closure (Reflect Anticipatory Set):  Talk about the different forms of bullying that happened in the song and discuss if it happens in their situations.  Also ask what other things that happen that would be considered bullying.  Discuss ways that students can help students that are being bullied.
