Don't Laugh at Me<br />

Yarrow, Peter<br />

From Review at Professionally Speaking, a Canadian teacher's magazine:<br />

725 .172 YAR<br />

In Don't Laugh at Me, Peter Yarrow, of the acclaimed musical group Peter, Paul <strong>and</strong> Mary, contributes to a<br />

structured program designed to eliminate ridicule <strong>and</strong> bullying from your classroom through a foundation of<br />

risk-taking, fun, group work <strong>and</strong> communication.<br />

Yarrow concentrates on celebrating diversity by focusing on the social <strong>and</strong> emotional development of students<br />

<strong>and</strong> building a caring <strong>and</strong> accepting classroom community.<br />

This program is based on the Don't Laugh at Me song. The kit includes a comprehensive teachers' guide packed<br />

<strong>with</strong> useful <strong>and</strong> ready-to-use lessons, a VHS tape of the music video, Don't Laugh at Me along <strong>with</strong> Yarrow's<br />

explanation of the program for students <strong>and</strong> teachers, <strong>and</strong> a CD including some Peter, Paul <strong>and</strong> Mary children's<br />

favourites.<br />

Unfortunately, while Yarrow's effusive <strong>and</strong> sentimental presentation may appeal to primary students, junior<br />

students may find it childish. If you can leave the cheesy <strong>and</strong> sometimes condescending lyrics behind, you will<br />

find the Teacher's Guide can be used independently. It is practical, detailed <strong>and</strong> user-friendly, including many<br />

ready-to-implement, thought-provoking activities <strong>and</strong> ideas to inspire students to think about their role in society<br />

<strong>and</strong> how to be caring, compassionate, functional members of their classroom, school <strong>and</strong> community.<br />

Don't Laugh at Me, Operation Respect: DLAM, New York, 2001, package includes CD, VHS video <strong>and</strong> teacher's<br />

guide, most materials are offered at no cost or for a small donation<br />
