From this video clip, it showed how the author had the students come up with an idea to show his imperfections when he was a child and told his own stories. By doing so, he showed all of the students that it was alright to be different and who you want to be. He made the students come up with their own stories about someone who was an outcast and different from everyone else. I thought this was a great idea to use in a classroom. By doing this it can somewhat have an effect on kids being bullied in school, because it shows the students how everyone is different in their own way and it isn`t “weird” so nobody should be picked on. This video clip shows a lot of positive outcomes.
Question: How would you use an activity like this in your classroom to make the student aware of bullying?
Well I had posed on someone else's blog that I would have the students stand in someone else's shoes. "How would you feel if...?" This is a tough thing for younger students to do sometimes so maybe sharing a story about bullying that they could relate to or watching a video. Then having a group discussion about how we can be understanding about other's differences might be enough!
