Pre-lesson assignment and/or prior knowledge: At this age, the students will understand what bullying is and why it is bad to have a bully in their school. Lesson Beginning: The teacher will start off the lesson by projecting a word splash on the board (using the internet). More negative words, related to bullying, will be displayed than the positive words. While reading each word on the word splash, the teacher will point to the word on the board, making sure students understand what each word is and means. Following this introduction, the teacher will allow students to discuss in their groups words that stand out to them, making a list of five words in their notebook. After giving the students one minute to work in their small groups, the teacher will make a chart on the board; the left side will be titled “Negative” and the right side will “Positive.” The teacher will call on students and ask them whether the word is positive or negative. After compiling a list of words for each category (there will be more negative words than positive), the teacher will ask the students how these words make them feel. Instructional Plan: Following the word splash activity, the teacher will call the students to the rug and read the story The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss. After every few pages the teacher will ask the students questions about the story, making sure everyone is paying attention. After the story, we reflect on the way the Sneetches treated one another at the beginning and how that changed by the end. After the story, the teacher will then transition into an interactive game. Students will arrange themselves into a circle on the carpet while the teacher hands out index cards with the students’ names on them (they will be handed out randomly; the students will not get themselves). The teacher will start the game by asking which student as the index card with the star on it; this student will start the game. The teachers will tell the students that they have two minutes to think of something positive to say about the person written on their index card. The student with the star will be the first to give a compliment to the person on their index card while the last student to go will say something nice about the teacher. Differentiation:

Students will collaborate in pairs and small groups. This will permit students to engage in meaningful discussions and to observe and learn from one another.

Speak at a slower rate and use basic terms when describing the lesson for the limited English proficiency students.

Questions:

Why do people choose to say mean things? Why would someone want to be like everyone else? Why is it important to say positive things to people/make them feel good?

Classroom Management: When referring to the word splash, including both positive and negative words, the students will work and speak with the students at their group in order to keep them in their seats and reduce the movement around the room. To start the reading of The Sneetches, the teacher will call the students up to the front of the room by their group numbers to have a sense of order as they move around the room. Transitions:

The students will be called to the front of the room to hear the story when they are done discussing and speaking with the teachers about which words they found to be positive and/or negative.

At the story’s end, the students and teachers will discuss with the students how the Sneech felt who was different than the rest throughout the story and how he felt when he tried to be someone he was not.

To reflect on the story’s moral, the teachers will emphasize that is it good to let others know that they are accepted and appreciated for who they are: transition to activity to give compliments to one another in order to make them feel good about themselves.

Closure: To close the lesson, the teachers will ask how the students felt as they did the complimenting activity such as:

“How did hearing nice things from other students make you feel?”

The teachers will introduce the idea to the students of making a class promise/pledge to say nice things to one another and not make other students in the class or Edgewood feel sad or upset about themselves. They will emphasize the importance of keeping a positive attitude throughout all they do and towards others in order to make themselves and those around them happy. Table by table will be called up to the front of the room to sign their name on the “Anti-Bullying Promise.”
