I V. Role – Play “Talk Show” on the topic “Violence at School”
Participants: a psychologist, sociologists, parents, teachers, pupils.
Questions under discussions:
What is a conflict?
What is school violence?
What can parents do to help their children to avoid violent situations?
What is the role of school in solving the problem?
Psychologist:
Conflict means angry disagreement between people or a group
Conflict means a situation in which something that is good for one person is bad for another person
Conflict means a situation in which it is difficult for two things to exist together
Conflict means a feeling of being nervous, because you want two different things at the same time
Conflict means a situation in which it is difficult for two persons to exist together peacefully.
Sociologists:
1 - School violence refers to violence that takes place in a school setting. This includes violence on school property, on the way to or from school, and at school trips and events.
School violence may be committed by students, teachers, or other members of the school staff; however, violence by fellow students is the most common.
School violence can be anything that involves a real or implied threat—it can be verbal, sexual, or physical. If someone is deliberately harming someone or acting in a way that leaves someone feeling threatened, that‘s school violence.
2 - School violence is a multi-faceted social ill and may occur for diverse reasons, one of which is the intake of hard substances such as drugs and alcohol abuse. Students, school staff or members of society who are intoxicated tend to lose control of their inhibitions and often act in an irrational manner. Hence, the effect of drugs on the human body can serve as a catalyst for school violence.
Teachers:
1 - Another cause of school violence may be personality problems. Shyness, for instance, may cause a student to feel out of place amongst his peers, thereby influencing him to be rebellious or try to get noticed by any means. Such behaviour may also result in bullying and gang fights.
2 - Furthermore, school violence may arise due to the psychological deficiencies created by dysfunctional homes. Worry, hatred, inferiority complex, anger and other negative emotions which fuel violent behaviour, could develop in people when they are exposed to poor parenting or disaccord amongst family members. Also, in homes where parents/guardians display violent behaviour, children/wards usually adopt violence as a way of asserting authority.
Another cause of school violence is violent media. The impact of violent television programs and video games is largely underestimated in society. Children or teenagers often emulate their favourite television characters in action movies and this leads to learned violent behaviour in schools.
Parents:
1 – To prevent violencestudents or parents must report it to the school: report any hint of violent behavior to school authorities. Tips can be a huge help in fighting school violence. Students may report tips anonymously.
2 -Inform adults: Children who witness or experience violence should keep telling adults (parents, teachers, and counselors) until someone does something. If an adult hears complaints about a specific child from multiple people, they may be able to protect other students and possibly help the child engaging in violence to learn different ways.
3 - Reach out to people: reach out to children or other people at the school who seem to be angry or upset, or appear fascinated with violence. Reach out to any child, whether bullied, bullying, or neither, who
seems to have anxiety, depression, or trouble managing emotions. Most of the time the child won’t be violent, but you’ll have helped them anyway by being supportive.
4 - Additionally it can be helpful to look out for warning signs of violence, which can include:
Talking about or playing with weapons of any kind
Harming pets or other animals
Threatening or bullying others
Talking about violence, violent movies, or violent games
Speaking or acting aggressively
Sociologist:Yes, it’s very important to report these signs to parents, teachers, or school authorities. The child may need help and support, and benefit from intervention.
V. Listening
T.: As we see, the problem of school bulling does exist. But this problem touches upon one side of school life – relationships between pupils. And now I want you to look at the other side of school life – teachers and students. And the text you are going to listen to will help us to start our discussion.
Pre – listening: make sure you understand these words and expressions from the text:
a cane – a stick
to cane – to beat
to tell off – to criticize
to back somebody up – to support somebody
to run something – to be in the act of doing something, to rule something
to get away with – to escape punishment, not to be punished
to be up to no good – to behave badly
Task: While listening to the text mark if the following statements are true (+) or false (-)
1. Rodney school is a public school for girls.
2. Naughty girls at school are punished by caning.
3. Miss Thomas isn`t a very experienced headmistress.
4. The girls are angry with their headmistress.
5. The girls believe those who misbehave deserve punishment.
6. The girls are allowed to choose punishment for themselves on their own.
7. Miss Thomas canes the girls to shame them.
Keys: 1)+, 2)+, 3)-, 4)-, 5)+, 6)-, 7)+.
Text THE LAST SCHOOL TO CANE ITS GIRLS
In nearly all schools in England, pupils who misbehave are just told off by the teachers. However, at the expensive Rodney School naughty girls are punished by caning. The headmistress, Miss Thomas, who has run the school for 47 years, says that she only canes the girls to shame them rather than hurt them.
Surprisingly, the girls back their headmistress up; if they have been up to no good, they believe that they deserve to be punished. One girl, Ann Swift, was given three strokes on each hand for going into nearby town without her school uniform. To be fair, Ann was allowed to choose between writing a long essay, staying in the school grounds for three weeks, or the cane. She chose the cane because it was
quicker. Another girl, Helen Whitney, then twelve, chose to be caned too, because she had been caught
in her dormitory with some boys. When she phoned her father, he told her, “ Think of all the things you have got away with. This time you have been caught”.

If you are not sure: Yes, but …; On the other hand…; I`m afraid…; I don`t agree…; I don`t think you are right…; I can`t agree with you.
If you disagree with your opponents: On the contrary! …, Certainly not., Just the other way round.
Questions to discuss:
What do you mean when you say “violence’ in general and “school violence” in particular?
Are conflicts inevitable? Why?
What can be done to make our life more comfortable and secure on the part of pupils and staff, everybody in school?
(ответы учеников)
T.: Psychologists and sociologists say that there are five basic ways of solving conflict: compromise, competition, collaboration, avoidance, accommodation.
Every person decides himself what way to choose. I think, to resolve a conflict we should discuss the problem and try to understand the cause of a conflict. We should respect different values, listen to each other.
You can see two principles, picked up from the Declaration on the rights of the Child. Let`s read them.
Slide 4 Slide 5
Let it be the motto of our lesson and our life!
We should also remember the words about tolerance of a peacemaker Thomas Shifard
Slide 6
Would you like to do our school rules of Tolerance? Would you like to be tolerant persons?
Let`s make up rules of a tolerant communication. Look at this tree. It has no leaves.
Y ou ‘ve prepared leaves with a phrase what we should do to resolve a conflict. Take them, come to the tree, read the rules and hang the leaves on the tree.
Respect the person.
Try to understand the people.
Stand upon your opinion tactfully.
Find the best arguments.
Be fair, be ready to realize the rightness of other person.
Try to take into consideration the interests of other people.
Help people who need it.
Be positive! Be tolerant!
Keep the sense of humour.
Avoid criticizing differences!
Observe other people’s rights!
Cheer up people!
Tell people what makes you unhappy!
Ask for advice!
Be confident and relaxed!
Put yourself into another person’s shoes!
Be optimistic and kind!
Discuss possible alternatives!
Comfort yourself if necessary
I hope that today`s lesson has developed your understanding , that we depend on each other. We can and we must do everything to make our life at school safe and comfortable for everyone. And I believe that you are quite aware of the problem, and are ready to find the way out.
