Invite the class to brainstorm ways to remedy or alleviate some of the common causes of anger in students, such as bullying or teasing. Encourage students to understand that a small number of students committed to change can become the impetus for change in the entire school. Invite your students to create public service announcements for the school news and invite media students to videotape the student generated “infomercials.” Insist that if your students “talk the talk,” they must “walk the walk.” If your students understand that they are becoming role models, the price of fighting becomes much higher.
