Why I created these lessons:
- The recent tragic stories of students committing suicide after unrelenting bullying inspired me to create this powerful lesson. It is perfect for any middle or high school class or school-wide bullying prevention program at your school.
- I taught this impacting lesson to my 9th grade students and afterwards they were ready to speak up, make buttons, post flyers, and try harder to stop the bullying and hurtful words at our school. They were touched.
- Here are some of my students' quotes after the two activities included in this lesson-the "Making Your Voice Count Group Activity" and the "Making Your Voice Count Quilt Wall Art":
- "I think it made us more confident to speak up because we know others will speak up too."
- "It feels like you're not the only one."
- "The activity was good; it made us think about the seriousness of not speaking up."
- "Reading those stories really made me think it can happen to anyone at any time and we need to stand up if it does."
- "Now they have ideas of what to do or say."
- "It shows them how effective their words can be and I think more people will be speaking up now. I know I will."
Here is more about this resource:
1. There is a worksheet to help students during the "Making Your Voice Count" activity
2. There are directions for a "Making Your Voice Count" Quilt Project to put up in your school so all students can be inspired
3. The lesson teaches students ways to respond to bullying and to help the victim such as: get an adult if they're needed, tell the office, support the victim, appeal to the bully, write a letter to the victim, post a kind message to the victim, invite the victim to join them, sit by the victim, rally the help of their friends, and more.
4. First, after reading true story articles of 4 others, students discuss in small groups and think of different ways to use their voices to support the victim and to help stop bullying.
5. Next, they choose one of their ideas and make a page which will be part of a "Making Your Voice Count Quilt."
6. Teacher is encouraged to print the student art and the articles and post it in your school where other students can read the true story articles, and see the positive ideas in how to deal with bullying!
7. There is also an optional follow-up lesson on finding a way to forgive someone who has been hurt by another person! It involves a letter and a paper shredder! Very powerful!
8. This lesson helps students realize their voice does matter and it's not that difficult to help a victim. They see that you never know the impact a small word or gesture might make!
