In the Education Center for this week and next, our literacy stations will be focused on the theme of bullying. I have created a thematic unit around this topic and our first lesson was about the power of our words. Members wrote down hurtful words, how these made them feel, and drew a picture of what others might feel when they hear these words directed at them. Next, members made a list of kind words, how these words make them feel, and drew a picture of how others might feel when they hear these words. I followed this up with a two part question and answer having them journal the following:
Do our words have power? Why or why not?
"Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never break me." Members then stated their position and defended it by journaling about the meaning behind this quotation.
Members were highly engaged in this topic and worked hard on their journal writing. Great work!
