Bullying | Podcast #103
The last Wednesday in February is known as “Pink Shirt Day” in Canada. This is an annual anti-bullying day that was first organized by high school students in Nova Scotia. Elementary and high school students across Canada stand up against bullying on Pink Shirt Day. Listen to this week’s podcast to find out more about the event.
In our NEW Discussion Starters lesson plan, students discuss whether or not anti-bullying campaigns are effective. Is bullying a part of growing up, or does more need to be done to protect victims? Students practice related vocabulary and discuss important issues including cyber-bullying and teen suicide. We hope you enjoy our Lesson Plan of the Week.
View our entire Discussion Starters lesson plan collection with 45 lesson plans that will get your students talking about real issues that matter to them. As teachers around the world have informed us, these lessons are very popular with teens!
“I really love the library and intend to be a member for many years. I teach in Turkey and my students love the format of the discussion starters. I get a lot of really positive feedback about the topics being interesting and current which is great because when faced with a class of hormonal teenagers it can be challenging to keep them focused because everything is ‘boring’!!!”
