Dealing with Violence

 

  

From locked down schools in suburban and urban areas to bloodshed in Amish country, none of our schools is completely safe from an act of violence. Whether we are dealing with student hit lists or examining the impact of war on our country and the world, language arts instructors are at a unique advantage when it comes to teaching about threats to peaceful living. What do you do in your classes to teach students about violent acts and their aftermath? What lessons and projects do you use to examine issues such as child abuse, school shootings, and war? How can younger students learn about tragedies in nurturing ways? How can young adults be taught to deal with the violence surrounding them?
