Activity
Part 1: (carpet read-aloud and discussion 15 minutes)
Use the data projector to do a read-aloud of the “Manifestation du chandail rose” article.
Used with permission from www.lesplan.com Image originally appeared in: https://www.lesplan.com/sites/default/files/documents/article/Chandail_rose.pdf *Note that this article is based on “Pink Shirt Day” which is celebrated every year in February.
Discuss and explain the 4 types of bullying that are mentioned in the article (page 3). Think, Pair, Share: Ask the students what they think the impact of these 4 types of bullying are. Next, have them turn to their elbow partner and discuss their ideas for preventing these types of bullying. Now have them share their ideas. Discuss why cyberbullying, in particular, is hurtful and how a digital footprint cannot be erased. Show and discuss the following documents with the students: Digital Tattoo by Sylvia Duckworth and “Notre trousse de citoyenneté numérique”, discuss in particular the toothpaste and permanent marker and how anything posted online cannot be erased or removed.
Part 2: (group work 15 minutes)
Divide the class into 3 groups, give each group one chart paper with a blank Venn diagram on it. Have each group use markers to fill in the Venn diagrams, they will be comparing each type of bullying to cyberbullying and putting commonalities in the middle. Let them know that next class period they will be sharing their Venn diagrams with the class.
Part 3: (Designing Pink Day t-shirts with Google Drawings 20 minutes +)
Begin by showing examples of Pink Day t-shirts to the students on the digital projector. “Be a buddy, not a bully” “Kindness is one size fits all” “It’s not cool to be cruel”, etc. A Google image search for “Pink Day t-shirt” brings up lots of examples.
Next, show the students the Pink t-shirt template on the projector screen. If your students are new to Google Drawings you will want to go through the basics and show how to insert images, text, shapes, word art, etc.
They should then be given time to work on the t-shirt design on their Chromebooks/laptops.
