The impacts of bullying on young children and teenagers, both physical and emotional, cannot be understated. Over the last decade, wonderful organizations like PACER and StopBullying.gov have brought much-needed attention to the issue of bullying. But there's still a lot of work that needs to be done, especially when it comes to educating our students about the issue. In honor of October's National Bullying Prevention Month, we've rounded up some differentiated close reading and argumentative writing lessons, featuring engaging and authentic informational and literary texts, about bullying to share with your students.
