Welcome to Our Flipped Classroom: The Bullying Project
Below is a "Script Writing" online resource that we will be using to manage and produce our play:

Joe Well, well, well! What do we have here? The new kids!
(Two kids who are also bullies stand next to Joe and laugh at the joke.)
Lola I was not here!
(Lola hides behind Ronnie)
Joe Aren’t you a chicken?
(Makes chicken noise like bac bac bac etc. and kids next to Joe laugh again at his joke)
A boy next to Joe Are you too afraid to answer, pigs?
