Often a positive word is disregarded because a students mind is overflowing with the negative thoughts on themselves. Bullying in the school has become a big issue in the school boards across North America. Students who are being bullied in school feel unsafe in their environment.
It has been suggested that students are unable to learn in an unsafe environment because they are using their brainpower to keep themselves safe. If students are to succeed in school they must feel safe in their classroom, hallways, school, and schoolyard. A child who is made fun at lunch will be stressing about lunch in an hour rather than focusing their attention on the task on hand.
Use this creative bullying lesson plan to teach students how words do cause harm to living things.
