teacher/counselor to discuss what bullying is, who it effects, and why does it affect
each person involved.
Class Activity (30 minutes) Students will watch 3 clips from movies, A Christmas
Story, Napolean Dynamite, and Wreck it Ralph. They will note the way bullying
effects the characters and come to a conclusion as to why the character is either a
bully or why the other character is being bullied.
Writing Assignment (20 minutes) Students will be given a sheet with questions
to be answered from the movie. 1. How closely did the movie match real life? Explain.
2. Did the bullying stop? If so, how was the situation resolved, and what message does
that send? 3. Did adults know about the bullying? If so, did they help? 4. Did peers know
about the bullying? If so, did they help? 5. Were any of the helpful bystander or adult
actions depicted? 6. What could have been done differently by adults? By peers? What
difference might these actions have made?

assignment.

Whos responsible for ending bullying in the school, the bully, the teachers, or the
administration staff (principal)? Why do you think that person is the most
responsible and how will you put an end to bullying in your school.

they can experience these lessons with a different group of kids.

what bullying is and how it hurts people
Outcome Data:

Discipline referrals are decreased by 10% in the 10th grade

decreased and to continue to spread the word that bullying is dangerous.
