Teaching Learning Strategy N/A
Instructions:
1. The teacher introduces this activity by explaining the terms:
Indicators of Violence:
• something that demonstrates that some form of violence is occurring (e.g.,
yelling, bruises, cowering, put downs, etc.)
Intervention Strategies:
• how to deal with the violence (e.g., counselling, hotlines, books, videos, doctors,
police, etc.)
Ensure students know the difference between the two terms. Distribute one card to
each student with one indicator or strategy listed on it. Have each student post the
card under the appropriate term. This will give the class an opportunity to review all
of the indicators and strategies prior to looking at the case scenarios and all of the
information will be posted in the room for them to reference throughout the activity.
2. Put students in groups of four. Distribute two scenarios to each group and have them
divide into partner groups to work on different scenarios. Ask each partner group to
examine the case scenarios on relationship violence. Their task is to identify the
indictors of violence and to develop appropriate intervention strategies to deal with
the violence. Have them record their findings on the Student Resource (Worksheet-
Case Scenario).
3. Once the partner groups have completed the Student Resource (Worksheet- Case
Scenario), ask them to pass their work to the other partner group in their foursome.
The groups of two should examine the other groupsÕ answers and use the Student
Resource (Peer Assessment Checklist) to provide feedback.
4. Once the peer assessment is completed, groups of four should reconvene and discuss
their thoughts and ideas related to the scenarios. Remind them to focus on identifying
the indicators and analysing appropriate intervention strategies.
5. Bring the class together for a large group discussion to develop the indicators of
violence.
