There can be many challenges that students face when dealing with their sexual orientation. This packet of work presents students with a realistic story of a male teen struggling with accepting his own identity. Wary that he may be judged, shunned and not accepted, the LGBTQ+ teen describes the immense pressure he is under. Your students will discuss and unpack what is means for some teens to be gay in an environment that doesn’t support homosexuality and diversity.

Students who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community may find themselves hiding who they are from their peers and family. For some students, they may be wrestling with conflicting feelings of wanting to come out. However, some may choose not to out of fear - just like the narrator in the reading passage.

Through a variety of activities, students are guided to explore the concepts within the text. An anticipation guide helps learners to consider their current thoughts and beliefs surrounding the experiences of LGBTQ+ people. Students are led through reflections and prompts that encourage empathetic thinking. As teachers, we see the value in equipping our students with the coping strategies they need to deal with their relationships and friendships. These activities encourage social and emotional learning that they can use to understand the difficulties that others may face in their daily lives.

This resource allows for courageous conversations on this sensitive topic through the use of a reading passage and anticipation guide. Similar to viewing a case study, your students may find they can relate to aspects of the story. For other students, the passage may spark feelings of empathy for the LGBTQ+ teen described.

Are you seeking a powerful tool to address bullying in your middle school classroom?

"The Power Within: Stories of Overcoming Bullying" is more than just a book; it's a comprehensive resource designed to help you navigate the complex landscape of bullying with your students.

What's Inside:

• Thought-Provoking Discussion Questions: Each story is followed by a set of questions designed to spark meaningful conversations, encourage critical thinking, promote self-reflection, and foster empathy.
• Creative Writing Prompts: Inspire your students to explore the themes of the stories through writing, allowing them to develop their own voices, express their understanding of bullying, and consider alternative perspectives.
• Action-Oriented Project Ideas: Empower your students to take action against bullying by engaging in projects that promote kindness, inclusivity, and positive change within their school communities.

Why Choose "The Power Within":

• Relatable and Engaging: The stories are carefully crafted to resonate with the middle school experience, capturing the attention of your students and making the lessons more impactful.
• Multifaceted Approach: The book addresses bullying from various angles, providing a holistic understanding of the issue and its complexities.
• Promotes Social-Emotional Learning: The activities and discussion prompts encourage students to develop essential social-emotional skills, such as empathy, self-awareness, responsible decision-making, and relationship building.
• Versatile Teaching Tool: Use the stories as individual reading assignments, springboards for class discussions, or the foundation for a unit on bullying prevention.

"The Power Within" is more than just a book; it's a catalyst for positive change.
