Bullying Project

8th Grade

 We will explore the theme of "Bullying."

In partners (2), you will either create a three minute speech or a three minute sketch to illustrate the problem of bullying. You will create a narrative (story) which illustrates the theme of bullying. You will perform your skits or speeches to a class of younger students to help prevent bullying.

What should you do to represent bullying as problematic and show a solution for young students?


  • Scenarios where students stand up for other students
  • Scenarios where a student seeks help from an adult 
  • Scenarios that happened to you (you can change it a little so no one knows it's your story)
  • Scenes where we witness what a bully goes through before they bully
  • Scenarios of a kid who bullies and then regrets it
There has to be a positive message, a piece of advice, something that can help prevent bullying in younger grades.
