Phase+4


 * PHASE 4: Design Integration Strategies

A. We will utilize the Gradual Release Model. This entails whole-group instruction, guided instruction, and small-group collaboration and independent practice. The following instructional methods were created considering content objectives and student characteristics.

__Whole-Group Instruction:__ Teacher will class discussion and present current statistics of bullying, school violence, and the (physical, verbal, relational, psychological, and cyber bullying). Using a variety of visual aids, will present the as strategiesto use when encountering bullying behaviors. The class will brainstorm various bullying situations. Teachers will record the ideas presented by students.

The following PowerPoint presentation will support the whole-group instruction.

The following YouTube clips will highlight the different types of bullying and encourage further discussion during whole-group instruction. **

__Guided-Instruction:__ The teacher will explain socially appropriate responses to bullying situations. For example, students are encouraged to not participate in bulling and help prevent bullying of others through positive social reactions. Students will be divided into groups of 4-5 students. Each group will receive one index card and chose a brainstormed scenario. They will be asked to identify “What would you do?” and “What if it’s you?” for that hypothetical scenario. Specifically, within each group, students will (1) discuss socially appropriate/non-violent solution or reaction to each situation if they had observed it happening to another student and (2) determine a solution for a hypothetical situation. Teacher will circulate, monitor, and assist as needed.

__Independent:__ Each group will determine solutions and create a skit to role-play the scenario and solution. Students will act out one scene resolution as a bystander and one as the actual victim. At the end of each role play, observing students will record on their papers what type of bullying was observed in the scenario. A class discussion will be encouraged to give feedback and share other possible solutions to the bullying situation. Students will be reminded that solutions should be socially appropriate. Teacher will explain and emphasize why cursing and violence would not be appropriate choices.

B. Integrating Technology Students will have the opportunity to use technology to support their presentation. For example, they may use Microsoft Office programs (PowerPoint, Word, etc.) or Glogster. Student work can be displayed on the classroom SmartBoard.

C. Student Preparation Although the students are already familiar with many of these technology programs, the teacher will collaborate with small groups to answer questions and guide students through the process. The building technology instructor will also be available on an as-needed basis. The small groups of students will be designed to have a variety of academic skills and technological capabilities.
