Bullies, Bystanders, and Victims Middle School lesson plan: Chapter 3 of 12

Introduction to Series and Learning Objectives

Middle School students who participate in this set of twelve lesson plans focusing on Bullies, Bystanders of Bullying, and Victims of bullying-type behavior will receive the following benefits:

(1) They will become skilled in using the eight (8) tools of Anger Control developed by Dr. Tony Fiore. (Many thanks goes to Dr. Tony Fiore, also known as the Anger Coach, for freely providing these techniques to my readers. See more info about him in resource section.)

(2) Students who have been identified as bullies should decrease the instances of bullying-type behavior.

(3) Victims of bullying and bystanders of bullying will increase their ability to defuse bullying-type behavior.

(4) Students will increase their feelings of empathy for self and others.

=================================

The stories included in these twelve lesson plans revolve around about a dozen each of seventh-grade bullies, bystanders of bullying, and victims of bullying who all attend a middle school we will call Kennedy Middle School or KMS. Both the story characters and the middle school are a product of the imagination of Debbie Dunn – a Conflict Resolution and Anti-Bullying Specialist since 1998; however, the actual bullying events are based on composite stories of real things that happen in middle schools across the country.

Debbie Dunn has been a professional storyteller since 1989. Since 1980, she has been a certified teacher of K-3 and 1-8. She taught elementary school for seven years; traditional middle school for two years; and conflict resolution, character education, and communication skills to over 500 middle school students a year for five years until a budget-cut eliminated most of the school’s special programs. Facilitating young people to deal with bullying-type behavior is one of her greatest passions in life.

These twelve lesson plans are self-contained. All stories, role-plays, discussion questions, and teaching posters are included as one of your free benefits of visiting this site and being one of my many readers. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
