Bullying - Discussion Texts - Worksheet

The provided worksheets are educational tools designed to facilitate discussions and learning about bullying among primary school students. The materials prompt students to think about the various forms that bullying can take, which are not limited to face-to-face interactions but can also occur through digital means such as mean messages and emails. The exercises include scenarios where students are asked to identify bullying behaviour, such as receiving unwanted messages, being laughed at, or being physically harmed. The aim is to help students recognise different instances of bullying, understand its impact, and consider the reasons behind such behaviour.

Additionally, the worksheets encourage critical thinking by asking students to consider whether bullies themselves deserve sympathy, with space provided for arguments for and against this viewpoint. The resources also focus on developing formal writing skills by having students choose the most formal phrases from given examples. Other worksheets are dedicated to expanding technical vocabulary and understanding conjunctions within the context of discussing bullying. Lastly, there are exercises designed to practice changing narrative perspective and tense, where students convert first person, past tense sentences to third person, present tense. These activities not only address the topic of bullying but also aim to enhance students' language and writing skills.
