Activity 3

Students complete a quiz to check their knowledge about school bullying in Poland.

Teacher's notes:

This task can be preceded by a short talk about students' experiences or opinions on
bullying. The teacher can encourage students asking them questions e.g.

 Do you think bullying is a serious problem in Poland/your school?
 Have you ever experienced bullying? What kind?

Activity 4

A group of students act out a drama once again. The rest of the students are given paper
hearts. While watching the drama they are supposed to tear out one piece of the heart
each time they see the act of bullying. After that they try to put it back together like a
puzzle.
While doing the activity students should realize that it is very difficult to repair a
"broken heart" and even if it is possible the scars stay.
