Step+by+Step+Instructional+Strategies


 * Bully or Buddy**


 * Goals and Objectives:**

At the completion of this lesson, students will be able to:

· Identify the different types of bullying

· Develop ideas that would stop another child from bullying

· Determine if they or a friend have ever bullied another person

· Determine if they or a friend have ever been bullied

· Use online tools to show how they can stop bullying

· Use online tools to tell stories about a time they were bullied

· Use digital cameras to record skits about bullying

· Use online resources to research bullying


 * Essential Questions:**

· What is bullying?

· How does bullying affect me?

· Who are bullies?

· What can I do to stop bullying?


 * Classrooms’ Collaboration Activity**

Each classroom will create a wiki to share research and information. Each classroom will research a different type of bullying (physical/verbal, cyber, and isolation) and present results to the other __#|classes__ through a skit. Skit will be posted on YouTube for viewing as well as embedded in a Wiki for culminating activity. Each class will have to view the [|4 ways to make a YouTube video] for step by step instructions. They will then determine solutions to each type of bullying and present that to the other classes. Presentations may also be presented to administration and possibly school board.


 * Individual Classroom Collaboration**

Each classroom will use their class wiki to share research found in relation to the form of bullying being studied. The students in all classes will be able to view all the information in preparation for the class skit and posters. Each class will also give feedback by giving a glow and grow to the other classes.

**Step by Step Instructional Strategies** Pre-Survey Technology []
 * Note - Before introducing this scope of this project, students will complete a survey regarding their use of technology in the classroom.


 * Day 1 – Introduce Bullying and the Project**


 * Teacher will begin a class discussion asking “Who can tell me what a bully is?” The teacher will record their responses using a KWL chart. The classroom teacher will then ask "What are some things that bullies do? and How do they treat other people?" Through this teacher directed discussion, the teacher will also define the different types of bullying. A chart will be created that lists the behaviors for the different types of bullying. The different types will be modeled for students using a book on the topic or a video (this may vary according to the teacher). After the different bullying behaviors are explained and modeled for the students, the teacher will ask students how they feel. This will assist students in understanding the emotional aspect of bullying. Some questions that can be asked are:
 * What about bullying hurts your feelings?
 * Have you ever been around a bully?
 * Have you ever been a bully or even been bullied?
 * Which types of behaviors, if any, have you seen in our school?


 * Inform the students that they will work with together to complete the different parts of the project, but they first must research what they what to share on their form of bullying. The teacher will review the rubric/expectations of the project. Students will be broken into groups to begin their research.


 * Throughout the duration of the project students will be sharing their research and results via a class wiki.


 * Day 2 – Skits**
 * The teacher will introduce the expectations of the role-playing activity that will be recorded and posted to the class wiki. The groups within each class will act out the different forms on bullying using the research they found. The teacher will review the rubric with the students to ensure that they understand what is expected.


 * After reviewing expectations with the class, students will break into their small groups to develop their skits. Each group will be called upon to perform their skit. The teacher will record their skits to posts to the class wiki. At the end of each skit, the class will discuss what they saw and possible resolutions based on what they've learned. Questions that may be asked by the teacher to guide the students are; Was this a good way to resolve the situation? Why or why not? What would you have done if this happened to you?


 * The teacher will post the skits to the class wiki to be viewed by the other classes for evaluation and discussion.


 * Day 3 – View Classroom Skits and Discuss**


 * The teacher will ask the students to use todaysmeeting.com to write something they remembered about bullying the day before.The teacher will use this information as a formative assessment to determine the concepts that may need to be retaught, After each student enters their responses the teacher will gather students in the classroom meeting area (or wherever you conduct mini lessons). The teacher will say, "Turn to your partner and share some of the things you have learned about bullying in your research." Students will turn and talk to their neighbor by turning to their partners (assigned previously) to share something they found in their research.The teacher will ask students to remember what their partner told them. The teacher will call on five -six students to share what their neighbors told them. The teacher will begin an anchor chart that has the type of bullying her class is studying at the top. As students share the things they learned the teacher will record them on the chart paper. The teacher will explain that the other classes that we are working with also did some research on other types of bullying and they will share with us what they found. The teacher will take a picture of their anchor chart and post it on the wiki.


 * Each teacher will put the type of bullying their own classes was responsible for worked on chart paper. The teacher will put the project wiki on her computer and display it to the front of the class. The teacher will say,"Our partner classrooms also created videos about the type of bullying they are studying.:The teacher will show the videos the other classes created. (Download the videos prior to class in case the internet is not working at school that day.)


 * After viewing the videos, the teacher will ask the students what they have learned from the videos and record those answers on chart paper. The teacher will ask students if they notice any familiarities or differences between the types of bullying. The teacher will ask the students if they feel that these types of bullying has happened to them or their friends. The teacher will ask students how being bullied makes them feel. The teacher will ask students to think about if they think they might be bullies or if their friends could be bullies. After all three types of bullying have been discussed, the teacher will tell the students that their next task is to determine the types of things that students can do if they are bullied or if they see someone being bullied.


 * The teacher will tell students they are going to create an online poster to share with others what they can do to stop bulling at their school. The teacher will show students what online posters look like so that they can begin to develop ideas for what they can do. The teacher will place students in groups that will work together to begin the plan for their poster.


 * Day 4 - Poster**


 * The teacher will gather students together to remind them of the things they have learned in the past few days. The teacher will tell students that they are going to work with the partner classrooms to send a message to students, parents, and administrators to help stop bullying at each of their schools. The teacher will explain that the online posters they create will have to include the types of bullying they have discussed, how bullying makes them feel, and what can be done to can stop bullying at their schools. The teacher will then give the students a rubric and review what their expectations are for the online poster.


 * The teacher will show students how to get to the glogster.edu website. The teacher will show a video on how they can use Glogster so that students understand what they have to do. [] . The students will gather in their groups to create their posters. As students are working, the teacher will circulate and provide assistance as needed. As students complete their Glogsters, the teacher will help them upload their Glogsters to the project Wiki.
 * When student work time is completed, gather the students back to the meeting area so they can share their work.


 * Day 5 - Presentation**


 * Students will make their final presentation using SlideShare. Each classroom teacher will upload all the final posters created in their classroom to SlideShare. The SlideShare presentation will be embedded on the classroom wiki for the other collaboration classes to view.
 * Each class will then view and evaluate the SlideShare based on what they have learned about bullying and the different forms using the rubric.
 * Each class will also post to the wiki any questions they may have concerning the different forms of bullying after viewing SlideShare.
 * These presentations can be used to present to stakeholders to demonstrate how technology can increase student learning and motivation.
 * The classrooms' teachers will then complete a post survey regarding their experiences using technology.

 * Formative Assessments**

Students will be observed during classroom discussions and small group. Students are expected to contribute to the discussion and the group projects. Classroom teachers will use the rubrics for the skits and glogster posters to assess the students.


 * Summative Assessment**

Students will be creating a presentation for their summative assessment. The presentation will demonstrate their understanding of bullying, the different types, and possible solutions for the school. Students will have the option of presenting their findings to administration, parent associations, whole school, etc.
