Instructional Ideas

  • Rather than provide learners with a selection of readings, consider assigning them the task of finding their own examples of bullying from textbooks or literature and bringing them to class for discussion

Classroom Considerations

  • A safe classroom environment and clear discussion expectations need to be established for these activities
  • Lesson may require a little bit of preparation time, as the instructor will need to acquire a variety of texts that portray bullying

Pros

  • Lesson offers unique approach to bullying by examining the language and literature related to the concept
  • Activities do not have be carried out collectively, so you can pick and choose what works for your class

Cons

  • None
