Lesson Plan Content
Description: 
Bullying on the school grounds and through social media is a huge problem. While national programs are being implemented to address this issue, this lesson gives a classroom approach to working on the problem. Using the book Teammates by Peter Golenbock, students will use reading strategies to understand the bully theme inside the story. This heightened awareness of bully tactics will lead to discussions and tools to successfully win bully battles in the school environment.
