Antonio obviously wants to make change. As a fourth grader, it is almost impossible to do this alone. Therefore, he has handed this writing piece to you, his teacher. Understanding that this transformation involves far more than you and Antonio, you will devise a plan to help him change his history and be a good person.
Devise a game plan for Antonio's change:
Share two lessons or activities that can be completed with the whole class. The lessons should focus on the importance of awareness and bully prevention.
Describe the activities and how these lessons will benefit the class as a whole.
List one idea showing how the class can support Antonio's change. Explain how you will help your students support their former tormentor.
List one strategy that you can help Antonio implement in order for him to stay on the right path. (e.g., Literature, a check list, or a change in routine.)
Explain one suggestion you will share with Antonio's parents, so that this change in behavior is a true partnership between you, the child, and the parents.
