Defeat the Label Why were all the students wearing white
t-shirts? What caused them to see themselves

We’re all just plain white tees! Select any two children from the group
and ask the others, “What is different about these two students?” Then ask “What is the same?”
There will almost always be more same references, especially if the teacher’s class and school are mentioned, i.e. they’re both students at Baker Middle School.
Take Action!
Take the ANTI-BULLYING
PLEDGE!
“The Sneetches.” In Dr. Suess story, “The Sneetches”, Sneetches come in two varieties; some have stars on their bellies and some do not. The star-bellied Sneetches think that they are superior to the plain-bellied Sneetches. As you watch video… Look for ways the Sneetches show bias and
prejudice towards each other. What ultimately causes the Sneetches to be
more tolerant?
After Viewing Class Discussion:
Were the star-bellies right to treat the plain-bellies the way they did?
What do you think the Sneetches learned from their day on the beach with Sylvester McMonkey McBean?
Was Sylvester right when he said, “You can’t teach a Sneetch?”
