(3 pages) awareness/ bully prevention plan.

Read the following essay, written by Antonio, a fourth-grade student. 

The Bully in the Mirror
Antonio, 4th Grade

Mirror Mirror on the wall why must I be the
Bully that has to fall. I beat on kids around the school
The mirror told me it wasn’t cool. The mirror told me to change.
My ways I have beat up kids all by days. I have no friends.
It’s just not right. The mirror said cause you like to fight.
I am a bully how could this be. The mirror is starting to
Change me. Reflections are now flashing back to me.
Someone plant the seed inside of me. Now the mirror has
shown me poor. I’ll change my ways and start
new days the bully is no more part of me.
Any bully can changeImagine
that you are Antonio’s teacher. Antonio obviously wants to make a
change. As a fourth grader, it is almost impossible to do this alone.
Therefore, he has handed this writing piece to you, his teacher.
Understanding that this transformation involves far more than you and
Antonio, you will devise a plan to help him change his history and be a
good person. 

First, read the Kenny (2007) article and discuss
how Antonio’s “looking glass self” has been influenced by the agents of
socialization. Be sure to explain how this looking glass self is related
to his “answerability” and what role that has in his desire to change
his behavior.

Next, devise a game plan for Antonio’s change:

1. Share
   one lesson or activity that can be completed with the whole class. The
   lesson or activity should focus on the importance of awareness and bully
   prevention. Describe the lesson or activity and how it will benefit the
   class as a whole.
2. List one idea showing how the class can
   support Antonio’s change. Explain how you would help your students
   support their former tormentor.
3. List one strategy that you can
   help Antonio implement in order for him to stay on the right path (e.g.,
   literature, a check list, or a change in routine).
4. Provide one
   suggestion you would share with Antonio’s parents, so that this change
   in behavior is a true partnership between you (the teacher), the child,
   and the parents.
