Sequence of Teaching/Learning Experiences

Activating Prior Knowledge: Remind students about the National Day against Bullying and Violence (lesson should be held close to the date) on the 18th of March. And the focus this year is: Bystander Behaviour! Brainstorm bystander strategies that the students discussed in the prior bullying lesson (Brainstorm on IWB). Play the song, Caught in the Crowd, by Kate Miller Heidke. Have a discussion with the students about the lyrics/images within this film clip, What does this song portray. Body: From watching the film clip, reflect on own (teacher) personal stories to motivate students to have a say about their experiences with bullying. Tell the students, there is no shame or no one will get in trouble through sharing their experiences. Explain to the students that this classroom, is a safe environment and what is said within this lesson will not leave these walls. After students have shared their experiences, reward with a merit card for immediate positive reinforcement. Continue the lesson, by telling those students to keep their experiences in mind while we go through some strategies which will help in their situations.
