Complete "Dealing With People Who Want To Do You Harm."

Today we read Chapter 9 and proofread some of the captions for the Penny Book. DO NOT PUT PICTURES IN A BOOK UNTIL YOUR CAPTIONS HAVE BEEN EDITED!

Tonight you are responsible for completing "Dealing With People Who Want To Do You Harm." Some of the words are hard to read so I will tell you what the questions are asking. Questions 1 and 2 seem pretty clear. Answer the questions and we will get into groups tomorrow to compare answers. :)

3. Discuss how Cassie is wise enough to understand her "opponent" so well that she knows Lillian Jean will not tell anybody about what Cassie did.

4. Is Cassie's plan of retaliation successful? (Here you must discuss the way Lillian Jean reacts to the "game" is over.)

5. Although Cassie is stronger than Lillian Jean, the white girl acts like a bully in Strawberry because she knows the black girl probably will not hurt her. Discuss different ways a bully will "pick" on someone "weaker."

6. Many psychologists say that a bully acts the way he does because he feels bad about himself. and a bully picks on others when there is something going on in his own life that he dislikes but cannot do anything about. Does your group think this is true about bullies? Discuss.

7. It doesn't matter why bullies act the way they do when it is you they are picking on. A bully can make a person's life miserable especially when the victim cannot think of how to make the situation better. Discuss in your group what can be done to make a bully stop pestering a person.


Answer thoughtfully in complete sentences.
