It's September, and you need a book to assign for class reading. Don't Feed the Bully has been shown to be a great choice! 86% of sixth grade boys who said they don't like reading, in a recent study,* finished Don't Feed the Bully, and called it their favorite or equal to any book they had ever read. Over 90% of all students finished the book and over 75% said it was their favorite or equal book. Plus, the topic of bullying in a novel that is funny, fun, and accessible creates a million teachable moments in each lesson.
Then after reading the book to have a discussion with the author on writing, the genre of the hard boiled detective, and bullying.
Brad Tassell's bullying presentations are known for bringing huge laughs, music, magic, and responsible information on bullying. Including, simple steps to moving the bully target, creating empathy, and taking responsibility for violence.
This program is stripped down to discussing in-depth the important topics in the book and it's concept. There will still be lots of laughs because as a 22 year veteran of the comedy stage, Brad can't help it!
Each student will be responsible for having questions ready to ask. One related to bullying and the other related to writing, authorship, literature, or the genre of the detective novel. Plus, the use of simile, metaphor, and analogy to enhance meaning and humor.
Brad will have lots of questions too.
This is a not to miss learning opportunity for incredible growth right off the school year bat.
“In a nutshell: Don't Feed the Bully is an important self-help book for pre-teens that is cleverly disguised as a hilarious, fictional novel. Don't Feed the Bully provides practical advice to children on the extremely important topic of bullying. Yet it delivers that advice in a humorous, captivating plot that makes putting the book down nearly impossible. I urge educators to adopt this as required reading for your middle-school children. Doing so would be a major step forward in takling the serious problem of bullying, which continues to lead to escalating violence in our schools.” Barnes and Noble.com reviewer, 5/12/2007 *****
