A learning activity for my students will be to watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBRWZef6oks&feature=related. They will then discuss what happened in the video and express how they would have dealt with the situation. Students will then write about a situation in which they had a similar experience. Students will then be selected to participate in a role play which enacts similar situations. Students will then discuss students behaviors and reactions and the sugest alternatives to displayed behaviors. Students will write in complete paragraphs, (one to eight paragraphs depending on grade level). Written assignments will then be placed in the individual students portfolio for future reference. Another option will be to have the student draw on paper the situation discussed, these drawings will also be placed in the students portfolio. Teacher will assist students in finding appropriate sites to research information. Teacher will assist the student in learning key words to apply in search engines which will assist the student in finding related materials.
Data will be collected and reviewed of the student code violations for the school before the violence prevention program starts. Data will also be collected of the student code violations at the end of the school year to determine programs impact. Report will be generated to evaluate programs impact on overall student code violations at the program school.
