This is a good conversation starter lesson on bullying. I can definitely see it opening up great dialogue between students. It is easily transferable between middle/high grades. It could also be expanded upon with a digital component or some other type of activity.
Bullying can be a difficult subject to tackle and this resource does so in an accessible way. It aligns to standards and has clear objectives and assessments. It is motivational by allowing students choice and covering a relatable topic; language is appropriate to the grade level. This resource may want to consider adding an interactive aspect, such as peer revision or offering warm/cool feedback.
