Pre-Reading Activity:
Discuss with students with what being respectful means. Many students may not be mature enough to handle the tough scenarios in this story. They need to be told how to be respectful when being read or reading themselves a difficult situation.
Post-Reading Activity:
Ask students if they can relate to the issues in this book. Have they ever felt like these teens have? Assign students to create their own story or poem.
Reflection:
Many of my students think they are invincible. I love reading them these stories, especially the "tough stuff" section. They seem to understand a little better now that their choices can affect them for the rest of their lives.
