students?
This lesson plan will address the concept of bullying and provide students
with what is bullying vs what is not bullying. The goals I want the students to
reach is that they can tell two ways that someone is bullying (they should
just be able to say this verbally) and that they know at least two ways to
build friendship. Students should be able to identify what bullying is and how
they can deal with a bully. Students should also be able to say different ways
NCSCOS Standards:
RL.K.4 With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about words
which they name what they are writing about and supply some information
Assessment Plan:
Students will have to come up with ideas of what bullying is and what being
a good friend is, they will have to come up with their own sentences. The
They will be asked questions throughout the book to see if they understand
who is bullying and how they are bullying. After this, students will go back to
their seats and have to write out something based on a picture that depicts
together students can write out playing together or taking turns. The
students will also have a couple pictures on their page and they need to
state (does not have to be written out) how someone should respond to a
bully and what the bully could have done differently. The teacher should hear
students say and explain what bullying is and what the person could have
Prior Knowledge/Connections:
Students have had prior knowledge on some things that are not okay to do
and things that are okay to do in the classroom. They have had lessons with
guidance that talk about what it means to be a good friend, but this lesson
students talked about how they were bullied so it is important to make every
student aware of what is bullying and what is not bullying. To help students
may see daily, this way they can connect it to what they already know and
get a deeper understanding. If it is not things that they may see they may
teach to young students because over 3.2 million students are victims of
bullying each year (11 facts about bullying). The only way to decrease
feel like you are there for them if there is a bully because over 67% of
feel like teachers will be there for them and by teaching them about bullying
they are more likely to feel like you are there to listen (11 facts about
bullying).
Lesson Introduction/Hook:
To start the lesson read the book The Recess Queen by Alexis ONeill and
Laura Huliska-Beith. This is a read aloud that opens up the idea of bullying
in a way that keeps students engaged and really focused on the meaning of
the book.

Differentiation/Same-action:
reasons. For starters, the students are all hearing the same book so they are
level. Then when students decide if the pictures are bullying/not bullying
they will do a thumbs up or down to let me know this means every student is
able to come up with their own answer and not just follow what everyone
else is saying. Different students will have the chance to come up and put
the sentence where they think it belongs on a big piece of paper. Lastly,
when the students break up and go back to their seats there will be sentence
structures for students who need them and there is a picture that will help
them come up with ideas, it provides a visual for English Language Learners
and for students who struggle with writing(their sentences do not have to be
perfect as long as they can tell you what the sentence is saying). For
students that have a hard time writing the teacher can ask them verbally for
the answer that way the teacher knows they are comprehending.
Lesson Development:
The students will sit on the carpet for a read aloud. also ask the
The teacher should introduce the book by saying what it is called and
then asking the students what do you think this story is going to be
about? (students should answer only all on a couple) Read the book

being a bully or not. If they are being a bully have the students give
you a quiet thumbs down, if they are not being a bully have them give
