High School Lesson Plan
This lesson is designed to help draw high school students' attention to anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (anti-LGBT) bullying, name-calling and harassment. Actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression are some of the most common reasons students are targeted for bullying, name-calling and harassment in school. Yet, anti-LGBT bullying is rarely addressed in the classroom.
In this lesson, students will engage in discussion and activity focused on the prevalence of anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools (including their own), consider how anti-LGBT bias in schools hurts all students, and begin to think about how they might address these issues through the creation of their own anti-bullying film.
This lesson draws on the Stories of Us Promoting Positive Peer Relationships (P3R) bullying prevention program and GLSEN activities. P3R is composed of a unique series of film-based resources based on films produced by students. The film component of this lesson presents selected scenes from one of the films at the heart of the P3R program.
The lesson also serves to introduce the full Stories of Us Make-Your-Own-Film curriculum. Student films produced in the Fall using this curriculum will be featured online during No Name-calling Week.
