About This Lesson
Students are asked to consider the difference between good-natured teasing and bullying
through discussion of fictional scenarios and reflection on real-life situations. Students are provided
with concrete guidelines that help them to understand when harmless joking has crossed the line
to become disrespectful or mean. Aligned to Common Core State Standards: SL.6.1, SL.7.1, SL.8.1
These scenarios really get kids thinking about how they interact with each other.
