This webquest aims to teach 5th grade students about bullying and why it should not be tolerated. Students will complete individual research on bullying by filling out a graphic organizer from various educational websites and videos. They will also write self-reflections on times they were bullied or times they bullied others. Finally, students will work in groups to act out scenarios where one student is bullying another and their group member intervenes to stop it. The goal is for students to understand bullying, reflect on their own past experiences, and learn how to safely intervene if they witness bullying.

1. Character Education: Anti-Bullying WebQuest
Welcome:
Welcome to your building character WebQuest! Today, your 5th grade class
will be researching an important life skill: why not to bully other kids!
Introduction:
This may seem like a strange thing to learn about in school because it
doesn’t have anything to do with math, science, English, or any of the usual
subjects. This should not seem so strange though, because bullying happens
every day in school and it can have a negative impact on both the bully’s life
and the person being bullied. This WebQuest is going to help you learn more
about what bullying is, and why it is so important to stop it from happening!
Task:
The task for this WebQuest will be mostly individually based work. The
reason for this is because a lot of the work is self-reflection writing and note
taking in a graphic organizer. At the very end, you will be assigned into
groups of three and will act out a scenario of someone being bullied, and
what someone should say to stop that bullying.
Individually, you will be graded on how much of your graphic organizer is
filled out, and on your written self-reflections. As a group you will be graded
on how well you worked with others, and how organized and accurate your
bullying scenario was.
Process:
The following tasks are numbered in the order in which they should be
accomplished.
1: Obtain a graphic organizer from your folder in the folder bin. There will
be only one in each folder; if you need an extra you will have to come
directly to me to receive it.
2: The next thing you will need to do is click on each of the links in the
order they appear to either research about bullying or informational videos

2. on bullying. While you are researching and watching videos you will be
writing down facts you learn in each of the bubbles in your graphic
organizer.

3: After completing step 2, you will go and get your writing folder to start
your self-reflections. You will have two writing assignments to complete.
They are listed below.
 Write a reflection on how you felt while doing your research for
this WebQuest. Did it remind you of a time you were bullied?
Did you feel sad that bulling goes on? Anything about how you
felt about the information you were finding.
 Write a reflection about a time you remember that YOU were
being a bully. Describe the situation and then write about what
you would do differently now that you have researched about
anti-bullying. Why did you do it? Do you want to find the
personand apologize? Do you feel badly, and wish you
wouldn’t have done it at all?
4: After completing both of your writing assignments, you will put
your writing folder back where they belong and you will go to your
folder in the folder bin and there will be a piece of paper with your
group number on it and who is in your group of three. After getting
this paper, you will find your group members and work together to
come up with a scenario to act out.
5: When everyone is finished their scenario, you will be called by
group number to perform it. At the beginning of your performance,

3. you must announce what each of your roles are. There will only be
three roles: The Bully, The Bullied, and The Stopper
So the scenario will consist of a bully being mean to the bullied and
the stopped will intervene and stop the whole situation.
Use your creative juices! The scenario can be anything as long as it is
school appropriate and kind!
Good luck and have fun!
