I highly recommend Bullets into Bells: Poets and Citizens Respond to Gun Violence as a wonderful way for English or Social Studies teachers and classes to delve into the issue of gun violence. The poems and the responses to them by caring citizens and survivors will engage students' hearts as well as minds and generate meaningful discussion. - MLG

The Pledge

The Student Pledge Against Gun Violence is a national program that honors the role that young people, through their own decisions, can play in reducing gun violence. This campaign against youth gun violence culminates each year on a Day of National Concern about Young People and Gun Violence. The program provides a means for beginning the conversation with young people about gun violence. It refers teachers, counselors, and community leaders to valuable resources, includes curriculum suggestions that can be integrated with existing academic programs, and contains information about how your school can participate.
