Artifact Title Bully Smack down Date 10/4/12
PSOE Proficiency
Addressed 1.0 The candidate uses
knowledge of curriculum, learner differences, and ongoing assessment data to
plan for student access to same essential content.
Artifact Description (provide context
about the artifact by describing what, when, where, why, how)
“Bully Smack down” is a role play game that
can teach students about the dangers of eating disorders, the media, and
themselves. It will highlight what the media does to photos and what is
expected of certain companies in the world. It will open their eyes to what
really happens in the media and what they can do for their own self-esteem.
This particular activity would be for 4th
and 5th graders. Personally I think they can grasp the concept and
understand what is going on in the lesson. For this lesson I would use a power
point to show anorexia and bulimia and the effects they can have on the body. I
would also hold a class discussion before showing the power point to understand
what they are thinking about the media. Do they think that those pictures are
not messed with? Do they put a standard on girls and boys to look and act like
the stars do. Do they think everything that happens in Hollywood is good? Who
are good role models? Who do you know that has stood up for eating disorders?
These questions will give me a perception of
what they know and what they think is important to body image.
Bully Smack down will be a game that is
played by the class. It will be comprised of groups, individuals and talks
about skinniness and “fat”. There will be a “bully” that picks on another
student first. Then the student will talk about how they felt when they were
bullied. The bullied student will get a turn to “bully” the other person back.
During this lesson I will talk about personal image and healthy choices. I will
also show a video of Tyra Banks talking about the model industry. I feel that
she truthfully tells what happens in the industry of models and their eating
habits.
Also, after bully smackdown I will give the
students a blank sheet of paper to trace their hand on. Once traced, I will ask
the class to pass around their papers and put one great thing about that person
on that sheet.

Proficiency
(explain how the artifact helps you meet the PSOE Proficiency)
This artifact addresses Proficiency 1.0
because it shows that I understand the different needs for the students. It
also shows that I understand the standard behind the activity that I am trying
to meet. Learner Differences are highlighted in this particular lesson.
Bodily/Kinesthetic: The student will get up
and move.
Interpersonal/Intrapersonal: Students will be
able to think about themselves and other in this activity. How they felt when
they got bullied verses what it felt like to be “in power”.
Visual: The power point will help these
learners organize their thoughts.
Reflection (reflect on why you
chose this artifact and how the artifact has contributed to your development as
a teacher generally and as a teacher with a Differentiated Instruction
perspective).
During students’ development at the older
elementary age they are experiencing changes in their thoughts and who they
hang out with. This activity will help them when they transition into middle
school and high school. It will help them sort out what is going on and what
they should do if they got into trouble with an eating disorder or if they feel
self-conscience. (who isn’t in middle and high school). This game would be
appropriate to teach with science because they also can learn how their body
functions properly. I believe students will react positively to this assignment.
In the end the student would have a page full of positive things for them to
look at. I know I still have mine from when I did it in middle school.
