Grades 6-8.
This video follows a boy and girl through a typical day at middle school, showing the many interactions that can make students feel either great or uneasy about themselves. The processes of acceptance and rejection are shown to illustrate interpersonal strengths that can help kids build their own identities and maintain rewarding friendships without getting caught up in the popularity game. This video and print package reveals that wanting to be popular and conforming to the peer group is simply part of the middle schooler’s normal struggle to begin establishing independence from parents. Reveals how social skills development is the most important factor in popularity and that, like puberty, everyone proceeds at a different pace. 18-minute video with teacher’s resource book, and student handouts.
