Daisy Chain

This is a beautifully animated and presented anti-bullying story by Galvin Scott Davis (read by Kate Winslet). If you wanted to use it in writing, students could:

  • retell the story
  • create their own anti-bullying story (following the ideas in this story)
  • describe one of the characters
  • describe the setting (the playground at the beginning and end would make an interesting comparison).

Words hurt too

Here is a powerful video made by St Francis de Sales School in Wellington. Could your students write a script for an anti-bullying video?
