Melora Kennedy "read" Say Something by showing the 3-4 class at Doty School a feltboard presentation of the story.The Book: Say Something, by Peggy Moss, illustrated by Lea Lyon. There are some children who push and tease and bully at the local school. Sometimes they hurt other kids by just ignoring them. The girl in this story sees it happening, but she would never do these mean things herself. Then one day something happens that shows her that being a silent bystander isn’t enough. Will she take some steps on her own to help another kid? Bright, fluid, realistic watercolors illustrate the story, set in a school with lots of diversity. (text from Tilbury House)
Melora brainstormed with students ways in which they could respond to a situation in which another child is being teased or bullied, creating a role-playing script in which each child had the opportunity to play each of the roles.
