<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Students will recognize what bullying looks like and sounds like. They will describe the types of bullying and give examples of how to deal with each type in a practical way. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I will read the following scenarios to my class. They will vote of which ones are examples of bullying. They will explain why they think the scenario they have chosen is an example of bullying. **SCENARIOS:** (This is not a type of bullying. Jack’s comment was rude, but it is not bullying. It only happened one time, rather than being a repeated action.) <span style="color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> “I hate you!” <span style="color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> “You are ruining the game!” <span style="color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> “You are so stupid.” <span style="color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> “You are fat.” “I am going to beat you up.” (The Power of Words) (This is not a type of bullying. James’ coworker is reminding him to complete these takes so James will do his work the way he is supposed to do it.) Students will view videos on the types of bullying.

 * <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Procedure **
 * Carter has autism and talks with an unusual tone of voice. Sometimes it can be hard to understand what he is saying. Jack asked Carter if he could speak more clearly because he was mumbling and sounded ridiculous. This hurt Carter’s feelings because he cannot help the way he talks. Jack has never commented on his tone of voice again. (do2learn, 2012)
 * A student slaps the back of your friend’s head while walking to class in the hallway. This is the third time it has happened this week.
 * Every day, at lunchtime, another student says that your friend is fat, ugly, and constantly ‘‘roasting’’ (making fun of ) them.
 * A bully corners a student in the bathroom, raises his fist, and flinches numerous times as if he was going to hit him.
 * During physical education class, 2 boys start making inappropriate comments about a girl’s anatomy.
 * A friend of yours continues to get e-mail from fellow students that say they are going to ‘‘get’’ them. (Morrison, 2008)
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rani and Aruna rush home after school many days to play on their favorite Web site. The Web site has games, chat, and messaging for kids. Their parents let them play on the site, but Rani and Aruna haven’t told their parents that every day for two weeks they see messages to them that are mean.
 * Tom is in grade 8. He is scared to go to school because Marcus, a boy in his class, likes to lock Tom inside his locker.
 * Christina is in grade 7. Lately, her friend Maria has started hanging out with a new girl in the class, Justine. When Christina walks over to the two girls at recess, Maria and Justine will either pretend they can’t hear what Christina says to them or they will run away laughing.
 * Steven got braces two weeks ago. Kate, a girl in his class, has been making fun of him every time he smiles, calling him Braceface and Metal Mouth. Steven doesn’t like to show his teeth anymore at school because he knows Kate will make jokes about it.
 * Brittany is having an MSN chat with Torie. They are talking about the kids in their class and Brittany tells Torie that she has a crush on Ethan, the new boy in the class. The next day, Brittany discovers that Torie has copied their message and emailed it to all the kids in their grade, including Ethan (Gabourie, 2009).
 * James works at a computer repair store. He sometimes forgets to record and file the service reports after he fixes a computer. His co-worker has to do it for him 2 or 3 times per week. He often reminds James to record and file the reports and he asks him things like, “Did you file the service report?”(do2Learn)

The class will decide which questions to add to their survey. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The teacher will go to an online survey such as Survey Monkey to create a survey. Members of the school populace will complete the survey. The students will collect and analyze the results and plot the results using Microsoft Excel (math lesson). <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Students will go to [|www.wallwisher] and post and share ideas about the types of bullying.
