Ensuring Lesson supports district and state goals

NCSCOS Standards:
- Grade 1 Reading standards (Key Ideas and Details): Identify the main topic and retell key
details of a text.
- Grade 1 Speaking and Listening Standards (Comprehension and Collaboration): Participate in
collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 1 topics and texts with peers and

Assessment Plan:
Students will be given a Friendship Pie worksheet to write characteristics of a good friend on it. They
will also do an activity where they write kind words on the back of each student.

Meeting the student where they are:

Prior Knowledge/Connections:
Students will know something about bullying, it may be correct or it may not. They all have their own
ideas and connections. From this lesson, students will learn what it means to be a bully and how to have
a good relationship with their peers. They can connect this to their lives by experiences they have had.
Lesson Introduction/Hook:
Ask students a series of questions and if they have experience with those situations they will show
silently that they agree.
-I have been picked on.
-I have felt sad.
-I have picked on someone else.
-I have been mean to a friend.
-I have been left out of a group before.
-I have left someone out of my group before.
Heart of the Lesson/Learning Plans
Differentiation/Same-ation:
This lesson will engage all students because it starts with a read aloud then there is a coloring/writing
activity, and a hands on/walk around activity. There is just about something al students will enjoy doing.
Also, at the end of the activities the students will better understand their peers and will feel happy
because they will be getting kind comments from their classmates.
Lesson Development:
Start by introducing Enemy Pie and doing a quick picture walk.
Have students tell their definition of an enemy and tell them to listen to the book to see how
the phrase enemy pie is used.
Also allow students to make predictions about what the book is going to be about.
Then read Enemy Pie.
Can stop if students have questions or comments.
After the book is done start talking about what it means to have an enemy and see if students
predictions match what happen in the book.
Talk about what it means to be a good friend to others and how it feels when people are mean
versus when they are nice. Everyone would much rather have people be nice to them than be
mean to them. Students need to realize that just because someone does something different
than them or looks different than them does not mean that it is okay to pick on others.
Students will then be given their friendship pie worksheet to fill out. On here they will write
characteristics that describe a good friend. (This can also be done in a group on the smart board
with the teacher writing in the characteristics.)
After the friendship pie activity go around to each student and tape a piece of colored paper
on their back.
Tell each student to get up and stand at their desk and get one marker of their favorite color.
Explain to them that for this activity they need to do it silently and they cannot play around
because everyone will be walking around the room together. They also must write something
on each persons back. They will be given 5 to 10 minutes for this activity.
For this activity students will walk around the room and write one kind word on each of their
classmates back.
After this activity call students back to the carpet to sit down and allow each person to go
around and say one word that they got written on their paper.
Wrap up with a discussion about what they learned (not to be mean to each other and everyone
has great characteristics; be a good friend)

Specific Questioning:

-I have felt sad.
-I have picked on someone else.
-I have been mean to a friend.
-I have been left out of a group before.
-I have left someone out of my group before.

*Ask students before the book is read to make a prediction of what they think is going to happen. Also,
ask them what they think the common definition of enemy is.
*What does it mean to be a good friend?

Concluding the Lesson/Closure/Debriefing:
To wrap up the lesson allow each student to go around and read one kind word that was written on
their paper. This shows that each person is special and they are all kind and nice to each other.
Sometimes they can get mad at each other or hurt each others feelings but at the end of the day
everyone can get along and be kind.
