That's What I Am Bullying Example 1

Students:
This week we will be viewing clips daily from the movie That's What I Am. These clips can be found at http://www.beastaralliance.org/videos#top or http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBeASTARAlliance.

Here is the first clip:



Some questions to think about:
How do you think Stanley (the boy who was sprayed) felt after this incident?
What would you have felt like?
What was Andy's (the narrator who watched) role in this?
Could Andy have done anything?
Who could Stanley or Andy have gone to?

Parents:
This works towards Health and Physical Education Grade 5 Part C page 143:
C1.1 identify people (e.g., parents, guardians, neighbours, teachers, crossing guards, police, older students, coaches, elders) and supportive services (e.g., help lines, 9-1-1, Telehealth, public health units, student services) that can assist with injury prevention, emergencies, bullying, and abusive and
violent situations.

These questions open students up to empathizing with Stanley and Andy allowing them to imagine themselves in this situation needing to seek out help.
