6 Introduction Warm-up (5 minutes) ASK: What are some positive aspects of going online? Sample responses: Finding information quickly Meeting people with similar interests Communicating with people around the world Having fun EXPLAIN that in order to really enjoy the power of the Internet, it is important for students to learn how to handle any situation they might encounter online responsibly so they can keep their experiences positive. ASK: What are some of the ways that people hurt other people s feelings online? Sample responses: When people make jokes online that they think are funny, but they actually hurt other people s feelings When a friend teases a classmate When someone logs in to someone else s account and pretends to be that person Teach 1 Exploring bullying vs. cyberbullying (10 minutes) ASK: How do you think it feels to be bullied, and why? Guide students to reflect upon their personal experiences and to put themselves in the shoes of others who have been bullied. Common feelings: humiliated, sad, angry, helpless INVITE student volunteers to describe the Key Vocabulary terms cyberbullying and target. Then provide the definitions. DRAW a Venn diagram on the board. Label one side Bullying and the other side Cyberbullying. EXPLAIN that there are similarities and differences between in-person bullying and cyberbullying. Let students know that both can be very hurtful to the target, but that they should be aware of the differences between the two as they learn how to deal with cyberbullying. ASK: What are some of the similarities and differences between bullying and cyberbullying? (Fill in the Venn diagram with students responses.) Sample responses: Differences: Kids may use more hurtful and extreme language online than offline. Cyberbullying can happen anytime, whereas regular bullying generally stops when kids go home. what s cyberbullying? / lesson plan / Grades 3 5 6

7 Cyberbullying can be very public. Posts can spread rapidly and to a large, invisible audience because of the nature of how information travels online. Cyberbullies sometimes act anonymously, whereas with traditional bullying it is often clear who the bully is. In-person bullying can cause physical and emotional harm, while cyberbullying causes only emotional harm (though it can lead to physical bullying later). The age and size of a person are often less important with cyberbullying because people are not face to face. For example, even teachers can be targets. Similarities: Both can make kids feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, helpless, sad and angry. Teach 2 Identifying cyberbullying (25 minutes) DEFINE the Key Vocabulary term empathize. HAVE students recall a time when they have empathized with someone else, and ask them to share this memory with a partner. DISTRIBUTE the That s Cyberbullying Student Handout. INVITE students to read the scenario out loud, along with the questions that follow. HAVE students work with a partner to complete the questions on the handout. ASK: Who are the cyberbullies? The two girls who are not invited to the sleepover. Who is the target? Sondra Is this a cyberbullying situation? Why or why not? Yes, the angry girls have created a cyberbullying situation. Their behavior is online and it is intentional and harassing. How do you think Sondra might feel, other than embarrassed? Explain that when the students put themselves in Sondra s shoes, they empathize with her. To be a good friend, it is important to empathize with the targets of cyberbullying. The website that the girls created is mean, but Sondra may still feel regretful. Maybe she wishes she had invited the other girls, or that her parents rules had been different. what s cyberbullying? / lesson plan / Grades 3 5 7

8 Why do you think the two girls created the mean website about Sondra? They felt left out. They did not like Sondra anyway, and they thought they had an excuse to be mean to her. USE the one or all of the following questions to deepen class discussion about the scenario on their handout: Imagine someone saying that they hate you and making fun of you everywhere you go at school. Now imagine someone doing that on the Internet. How are these two situations similar? How are they different? Guide students to think about how in-person bullying and cyberbullying both make targets feel bad. Also, one can physically get away from in-person bullying, but not with cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can sometimes be more public than in-person bullying, because lots of people can see and share public messages online. But cyberbullying can also occur behind-thescenes. For example, a cyberbully could send mean messages to someone without others knowing. What advice would you give Sondra about how to handle the situation? Encourage the following tips: Don t respond or retaliate. If you are angry and reply, then you might say mean things. Cyberbullies often just want to get a reaction out of you. Don t let them know that their plan has worked. Block the bully. If you get mean messages online, take the person who sent you the messages off your buddy or friends list. You can also just delete messages from bullies without reading them. Save and print bullying messages. If the bullying continues, save the messages. These could be important evidence to show your parents or teachers if the bullying does not stop. Talk to a friend. When someone makes you feel bad, it can help to talk the situation over with a friend. Tell a trusted adult. Telling an adult like a parent, family member, teacher or coach isn t tattling. It s standing up for yourself. What do you think the people who are bullying Sondra would say about their behavior? Sample responses: They might say they were only kidding, they didn t mean any harm or it was just a joke. Students creating a website might also say that it is a matter of free speech. (Point out that whether or not the First Amendment permits it, bullying with a website is unkind and hurtful. Moreover, it may be against school rules.) EXPLAIN to students that good experiences online are much more common than bad ones. However, just as in the real world, situations online can arise in which they might encounter something uncomfortable. Point out that in this lesson they can learn how to deal with some of those upsetting experiences. what s cyberbullying? / lesson plan / Grades 3 5 8

9 INVITE students to share their own stories of bullying or cyberbullying situations, without using actual names. Encourage them to discuss how the target felt. Use the prompts below if students are having trouble remembering incidents. Possible prompts: Have you ever seen kids webpages or messages that caused another student distress? What happened? Why? Remember, don t use real names. Closing Wrap-up (5 minutes) You can use these questions to assess your students understanding of the lesson objectives. You may want to ask students to reflect in writing on one of the questions, using a journal or an online blog/wiki. ASK: What are some words or phrases to describe how it feels to be cyberbullied? Embarrassed, upset, depressed, hurt, powerless. How is cyberbullying the same and/or different than in-person bullying? Guide students to recognize that cyberbullying is a form of bullying, but that cyberbullying often spreads faster, further, to more people, and can occur 24/7. It is important for students to know about these distinctions so they can better deal with cyberbullying situations. What are some ways to handle a cyberbullying situation? Sample responses: Don t respond or retaliate. Block the bully. Save and print bullying messages. Talk to a friend. Tell a trusted adult. Extension activity Have students pretend that they are Dr. Chip Micro, a famous TV personality who helps people having difficulites with others online. Let students know that Sondra has written to Dr. Chip Micro about her situation. They, as Dr. Chip Micro, should send an reply providing concrete advice to Sondra. Let them know that they should: (1) empathize with Sondra, (2) acknowledge the difficulty of her situation and (3) offer help and/or suggested solutions for her situation. At-home activity Encourage students to interview family members about incidents of bullying that they have either been part of or witness to. Suggest that students create about ten interview questions that invite family members to share their stories and also ask them to reflect on how they think technoloy has or has not changed the way bullying impacts kids (and adults). Students can record the interviews with an audio recorder or a smartphone s voice memo function. They then can share their interviews with the class or incorporate them into a multimedia presentation using VoiceThread (www. voicethread.com). what s cyberbullying? / lesson plan / Grades 3 5 9

10 THAT S CYBERBULLYING What s cyberbullying? Directions Read the story of Sondra below. Then answer the questions that follow. Sondra is planning a birthday sleepover. Her parents have set a limit of eight girls, so Sondra can t invite everyone she d like. Two girls, who are left out of the party, overhear the plans. They decide to create a We Hate Sondra Jones website. They say that anyone invited to the party should not go. They share the website with everyone in school. The girls also tell everyone to add new reasons why they hate Sondra and to spread mean rumors about her. When Sondra hears about the site, she gets a sick feeling in her stomach. Each day she finds a new mean comment or joke about her on the website. She feels hurt and embarrassed. She tells her parents she is sick, so she won t have to go to school. Is this a cyberbullying situation? Why or why not? Who are the cyberbullies? Who is the target? How do you think Sondra feels? Why do you think the two girls made the mean website about Sondra? what s cyberbullying? / HANDOUT / Grades

14 family tip sheet Common Sense on cyberbullying elementary school What s the issue? Spreading rumors and bullying is nothing new. Kids have always found ways to be cruel to one another, but computers, cellphones and digital technologies make bullying easier and more widespread. Kids now use their cell phones and computers to hurt, humiliate and harass each other, and it s starting at younger ages. Cyberbullying is defined as repeatedly sending or posting harmful or mean messages, images, or videos about someone else using the Internet, cellphones or other digital technologies. Kids may call each other names, say nasty things about one another, threaten each other, or make others feel uncomfortable or scared. Children s increased access to digital technology has created more pathways to communicate for both good and for bad. Although cyberbullying is typically associated with tweens and teens, more cases are now being reported with younger children. Cyberbullying is especially disturbing because it is constant, inescapable and very public. It can happen anytime at school or at home and can involve large groups of kids. The combination of the boldness created by being anonymous and the desire to be seen as cool can cause a kid who normally wouldn t say anything mean face to face to show off to other kids by cyberbullying someone. Younger kids may bully to get attention, because they think it will make them popular, or because they want to look tough and make others afraid of them. And because it happens online, it can easily go undetected by parents and teachers. Why does It matter? Cyberbullying is a growing problem among younger kids. Younger kids are starting to use online communication and at the same time they are exploring ways to test other people s reactions. For instance, kids who send a mean message might not fully understand how another person might react to that message. What s more, hurtful information posted on the Internet is extremely difficult to prevent or remove, and anyone can see it. Imagine being publically humiliated in front of everyone you know. Such behavior usually happens when adults aren t around, so parents and teachers often see only the anxiety or depression that results from their kids being hurt or bullied. Parents can help by becoming aware of the issue, learning to identify the warning signs of bullying, and helping kids to understand how to be respectful to others online. What families can do Make a list together of how talking online is different than talking face to face. Get kids to think about how it might be easier to say things online you wouldn t say in person, and how this may be good sometimes and a problem at other times. Practice writing a text or chat message to a friend. Model for your child how to compliment people and how to avoid mean words or behaviors. Point out that it s important to stick up for others, online as well as in the real world. Discuss ways they can support friends who are bullied and report bad behavior they see online. what s cyberbullying? / FAMILY TIP SHEET / Grades

15 Common Sense says Limit online socializing. Because there is more risk for bullying on sites where kids can openly communicate, avoid open and free chat sites and look for those that offer prescripted or prescreened chat options, like Webkinz or Club Penguin. Explain the basics of good behavior online. Remind your kids that being mean, lying or telling secrets hurts both online and offline. And remember to praise your child when you see good behavior. Remind your kids not to share passwords with their friends. A common form of cyberbullying is when kids share passwords, log on to another child s account, and pretend to be that person. Kids can protect themselves by learning that passwords are strictly private, and they should be shared only with their parents. Make sure they talk to someone (even if it s not you). A child should tell a parent, teacher, or trusted adult if he or she is being bullied online. Tell your child that this isn t tattling, it s standing up for him or herself. Advise them on how to handle cyberbullying. Even though they might be tempted to, your child should never retaliate against a cyberbully. They can stop the cycle by not responding to the bully. Also remind them to save the evidence rather than delete it. Establish consequences for bullying behavior. If your child is mean to or humiliates another child, consider taking phone and computer privileges away and discuss what it means to be respectful to others. what s cyberbullying? / FAMILY TIP SHEET / Grades

16 Responding to Cyberbullying: cyberbullying: Guidelines for Administrators administrators No Bully, Common Sense Media, and the California-based law firm Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost believe that promoting social and emotional learning, creating a school climate where respect for diversity and skills is valued, and educating students, families, and faculty about how to behave ethically online are the best ways to prevent cyberbullying. However, we recognize that incidents may still occur. The chart below can help you respond to these incidents, although it does not constitute legal advice. Report of cyberbullying where student(s) used a cell phone or online digital media to threaten, humiliate, or isolate another student. Member of school staff meets with the target and/or parent/guardian to explore whether this is cyberbullying. Consider the questions below in determining how best to proceed. Did cyberbullying occur on campus, at school event, or on school-issued device? Did cyberbullying occur off-campus and create substantial disruption to the school s operation? Did cyberbullying occur off-campus and cause no substantial disruption to the school s operation? Did student conflict occur between students of equal power who used no violence, bullying, or harassment? Preserve evidence; e.g. sequester computer, take screen shots, store evidence provided by target, or take custody of cell phone if reasonable cause. Consider the questions below in determining next steps. Is this student being bullied through severe or repeated cyber actions done intentionally to harm or distress the student? This may be occurring along with physical, verbal, or relational bullying. Is this harassment because of a protected characteristic (e.g. actual or perceived disability, gender, gender identity or expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation) or because of association with students who have these characteristics? Have school rules or Ed Code been violated? School may give consequences to bully alongside a Solution Team for target but may only punish students for off-campus speech when it causes substantial disruption to school operation. Is this sexual harassment? E.g. unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature or gender based that is so severe as to make the school environment hostile or abusive. Is this a crime under state or federal law? E.g. making a criminal threat, obscene, threatening, or repeated phone call(s) or sexting (sending obscene materials). School may only offer non-punitive response (e.g. Solution Team ) Engage students in conflict-resolution process. Offer the target a Solution Team of students from their peer group to end the bullying or harassment. Address any hostile environment in which students are marginalized because they are different. Apply consequences for offending student as prescribed by Ed Code and/or school rules. Follow your school s Sexual Harassment Policy and Title IX guidelines. Remedy any hostile peer environment. Contact local law enforcement and, if child abuse, fulfill any CPS reporting requirements. and, if child abuse, fulfill any CPS reporting requirements. Meet separately with bully and target and their parent(s)/guardian(s) to further support student in positive social interactions at school. Connect to counseling services and outside resources to remedy any mental health or family challenges and build social and emotional skills. If student or parent/guardian are dissatisfied, inform them of next steps in the complaint process. Visit for cyberbullying prevention resources and classroom lessons on digital citizenship. Go to No Bully ( to learn about Solution Team,, a non-punitive approach to addressing bullying. Contact Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost (fagenfriedman.com) for legal advice.
