4. Teacher asks: Lion and Tiger bully Carl Coyote. What are some techniques he could use to not act or appear like a victim?
Students Respond:
a. Use good posture.
b. Make eye contact.
c. If he gets hit or kicked, attempt to giggle like it tickles instead of crying in front of them.
d. Smile from the heart.
e. Use a sense of humor to defuse the situation.
f. Get a support system of friends to watch his back.
g. Tell a grown-up.
5. Teacher asks: If Carl Coyote tells a grown-up, or in his case, an animal elder he is being bullied, would you call that tattling and snitching or responsible reporting. Why?
Students Respond:
a. Tattling and snitching is when you purposely try to get someone else in trouble.
b. Responsible Reporting is when you or others are being physically harmed and need the help of a grown-up.
c. Carl Coyote would be doing responsible reporting since he is reporting the bullying-type behavior of Lion and Tiger. He could be helping another animal not be bullied by them. He also would be getting help for himself since he obviously was not able to make them stop bullying him on his own.
