Boys and Girls

Boys: Do you feel like your manhood is on the line every time you're around a girl?

Girls: Do you feel like your womanhood is on the line every time you're around a boy?

Do you act like yourself or some one different around the opposite sex?

Fairness

“I [Peter] tried out for soccer, but never got any time on the field. Once, I helped some kids play a practical joke on a teacher by moving his car from the parking lot into the gym….I got detention, but the other kids didn’t, because they were on the basketball team and had a game on Saturday.”

Is discipline fairly administered in our school?

Do some students get preferential treatment when it comes to discipline?

How “fair” is our school in general?

We have discussed fictional heroes like Batman and Spiderman, but now we will focus on heros in our everyday lives. For Ms. Carr and I, it would have to be all of you. Describe a hero. It can be either someone you know or simply qualities of a hero.

Music

"Don't let your music die while it is still inside you."


Explain this quote in your own words.

Are some kids ridiculed at your school? Why? What do they get picked on about (height, weight, appearance, disability, accent, skin color, etc.)? Exactly how are they picked on? How do you think these kids feel about this? How do you feel about it? How does that kind of behavior affect the climate in your school?

Super Day!

Superhero day was a reminder of "what it was to be a kid." What sort of adventures did you use to take when you were younger? Do you ever wish you were a kid again? Why?
