Association of Citizenship scheme of lessons based on The present takers by Aidan Chambers (Random House, ISBN 0-09-999160-8).
|
The lessons are loosely planned and informal in style so as to encourage free discussion, and different classes will take different amounts of time to complete them. Therefore no follow-on lessons are suggested here.
Students are to be encouraged to learn about… bullying and its surrounding issues rather than to learn from… teachers or texts. The Present takers novel is a ‘springboard’ which may be read in part or whole as time or ability level allows. Summaries are given under Resources after the lessons themselves. |

FIT, the movie
|
 As Stonewall Education Champions, Hertfordshire CSF are delighted to inform you about FIT which is the feature film adaptation of Stonewall’s highly successful play for schools aimed at tackling homophobic bullying. Interactive DVDs of FIT have been sent out to every secondary school in Britain.
Homophobic bullying is rife in schools. In recent YouGov research for Stonewall, nine in ten teachers said their pupils experience homophobic bullying. But nine in ten teachers have never received any training on how to prevent and respond to homophobic bullying.
Stonewall is committed to helping teachers tackle homophobia and homophobic bullying in their schools. FIT, the movie – the first of its kind - will provide some of the help, resources and training teachers have been desperate for in combating the problem.
Teachers and pupils alike have found FIT to be useful. The story raises important themes that have encouraged pupils to address their prejudices and think about the consequences of their language. |

Mobile phones are great – you can stay in touch with your mates, chat to new friends, and have fun with cool ringtones, photos and video clips. But text bullies can use mobiles to get at you any time.
Text bullying is when someone abuses or threatens you by text, and it’s just as bad as them doing it at school or in the street. |
