bullying *lesson one and two*
Today we defined bullying and talked again about the difference between conflict and bullying. Conflict is normal and can be handled ourselves. Bullying is never okay and needs adult intervention. A lot of times kids and adults use the word bullying when the situation is actually conflict between two people or one person is being rude or hurtful to another. Not every situation in which someone is rude or hurtful is bullying; it must fit the whole definition. Students were surprised that some of the examples I gave were NOT bullying.
During our second lesson we watched a clip of a bully from the movie Like Mike (2002) and reviewed the definition of bullying and the different types of bullying. We also read the book Bully Beans to learn about some of the things we can do to appropriately respond to a bully.
