Lesson plan: Characters and feelings
From the Bullying online resource
Resources:
You will need:
Introduction and whole-class activity:
Read the story Frog and the Stranger. Discuss what the characters
in the story thought of Rat. Ask the pupils why they think the characters
had these thoughts.
1. What do we think about rats? How do we know? Are they all
the same?
2. What do we think about dogs, horses etc.? Are they all the
same?
3. Are people/pupils all the same?
4. How does the rat deal with the dislike shown him?
5. How do we deal with inappropriate behaviour?
6. Do we say things that are not true about our friends when we
are angry with them?
Read the first 13 pages of the story again slowly, and let the
pupils pick out the words used by Pig, Duck and Frog before they
have even met and talked to him.
Draw a table with the three headings Pig, Duck and Frog on the
board, and as you read each page, ask the pupils to tell you the
words used by the three animals that suggest their feelings and
thoughts about Rat.
You should expect to end up with this.
Why is it wrong for the animals to make these assumptions before
meeting Rat? Do we ever do this?
Group activity:
Ask the pupils how they feel when people make assumptions about
them.
Give out the Incident worksheet. Carefully
read the question and each possible response to the pupils. Ask
the pupils to place the responses in order, beginning with the most
appropriate, numbering each response from 1 to 5.
Plenary:
Share the pupils' results on the board. Have all the pupils come
up with same order? Do the pupils think they would really respond
as they have said, if such an incident happened, or is it more difficult
to respond in the right way when you are feeling angry? What could
help us to respond in the right way?
