Lesson plan: Fair and unfair
From the Bullying online resource
Resources:
You will need:
Introduction and whole-class activity:
Read the story Hurrah for Ethelyn. Let the pupils follow
the text as you read it. Ask the pupils to pick out the main events
in the story.
1. Who are the main characters?
2. How was Ethelyn treated in the story? Was this fair?
3. Can the pupils recall any occasions when they may have been
treated in a similar way?
4. Is this kind of behaviour hurtful? How does it make the pupils
feel?
5. Why do they think someone might be hurtful like that?
Discuss hurtful things that pupils say and do to each other, things
that the pupils have said themselves and things that have been said
to them, by peers, parents or teachers, for instance.
Make sure the pupils know the meaning of all of the vocabulary.
Pay particular attention to 'scholarship', 'nasty', 'bullies', 'jealous',
'dormousery', 'surgeon', 'Toerat'. Why were these words chosen?
Group activity:
Give out a copy of the Sentence sequencing
worksheet to each pupil. Ask the pupils, in groups, to sequence
the sentences into the correct order. The pupils then cut and stick
them in their books. (Alternatively, pupils can show the sequence
of the story by drawing a series of pictures.)
Plenary:
The pupils pick out aspects of the story where Ethelyn was treated
fairly or unfairly.
This lesson could continue as part of a circle time activity where
the pupils discuss incidents in their lives where they have been
treated fairly or unfairly.
