These curriculum
materials include a leader or teacher's guide for helping 8- through
12-year-old children cope with bullying, a text for students, and
a poster illustrating ways for children to react to bullies. The
teacher's guide presents 16 lessons for teachers to use in the classroom.
Four of the lessons are role plays through which direct experience
can enhance students' understanding of bullying. The other 12 lessons
are: (1) What Is a Bully?; (2) How Does Bullying Affect Us?; (3)
Why Do Bullies and Victims Exist?; (4) Earthlings: Creatures Who
Fight To Survive; (5) How Can We Stop Bullying?; (6) How Victims
Can Become Winners; (7) How bullies can become winners; (8) Awareness
is everything; (9) How Bullying Affects World Peace; (10) Understanding
Aggression; (11) Seeing Yourself As Peacemaker; and (12) The Power
of a Questioning Mind. The lessons typically include questions to
ask students, stories to read to students, and activities for students
to do. The student text consists of 10 chapters. The first eight
of these chapters are related to lessons from the teacher's guide.
These chapters typically include stories, questions, instructions,
suggestions, and role plays. Chapter 9 provides further activities
for understanding bullying, and chapter 10 proposes a list of questions
to stimulate further thought on the topic of bullying. (BC)
