{ "item_title" : "Bullyproof", "item_author" : [" Lisa Shelton "], "item_description" : "WarningThis book is not like other booksYour choices will control how the story unfolds... Pop on your sunhat, step outside into the school playground on a warm Summer's day, and choose where you want to play: the monkey bars, the sandpit, or hopscotch? Each option immerses you in a bullying situation, either as a target, a bystander, or a bully. Your decisions will shape the story that you read, and will help you to learn what to do if you encounter bullying at school. Experience the natural consequences of your choices in a safe environment where you always have the opportunity to go back and do things differentlyFrom the authorI am a Montessori teacher and have worked with children aged 2-12 for several years. Social and emotional development are key aspects of education, and bullying is one of the most common social issues facing children across all ages and all school settings. In fact, research suggests that 1 in 4 Australian students in grades 4 - 9 will be affected by bullying, roughly 85% of these bullying instances occurring with peers as bystanders. Literature has long been used to help children understand and explore issues of social and moral justice. Bullyproof takes a unique place among other junior fiction and non-fiction titles, being the first book to use the choose-your-own-adventure format to address this particular aspect of childhood development. Bullyproof engages children in active reading by putting them in the author's seat Readers will: - Learn how to recognise bullying, - Understand some of the different types of bullying, - Explore the reasons behind bullying, - Consider their own values, and make choices about how they would react in a range of situations, - Virtually experience bullying through the eyes of the target, bystander and bully, - Consider which adults they can go to for help with bullying, - Learn techniques for handling bullying, including specific phrases that they can use themselves, - Reflect on their learning.At the back of the book are conversation starters and reflection prompts. They can be used by readers in personal reflection, or by parents and teachers to help encourage active reading, and to probe children's thinking on this highly relevant topic.
