Context
In the context of a reading lesson, students in a primary class focused on bullying and conflict resolution.
The teacher read the book Just you wait by Megan de Kantzow (Omnibus Books, 2004) to students. This book is about a boy, Prince Roderick, who bullies another student, Eleanor True. While this story is humorous, the activity was presented within a serious context of bullying. The teacher stopped reading at the point where Prince Roderick catches Eleanor True.
Students were presented with a worksheet and were required to answer questions to demonstrate their understanding of how to respond to this type of behaviour in real life. Students responded individually in writing to the questions.
After students completed their worksheet they shared their responses and finished reading the story to the end.
The elements of the Building social relationships Level 4 standard addressed by the task are:
Students describe the impact of bullying. They accept and display empathy for the points of view and feelings of their peers and others. They identify … a variety of strategies to manage and resolve conflict.
