  16. Question - 1 B I don't think so...but seeing Mr. Bittner may have been the one good thing in her day! • Why did K.B. tell her mother that her day at school was "just great"? A) She didn't want her mom to worry about her. B) It was a great day, because she was excited to see Mr. Bittner. C) She probably thought her mom would get mad if she said she had a bad day. C I doubt it. Her mom probably would be upset and concerned. She definitely wouldn't be mad at K.B. A I agree.

  17. Question - 2 • What might be a better way for K.B. to answer her mom's question about her day?A) Tell her mom she doesn't want to talk about it. B) Lie and tell her mom that she made new friends so her mom isn't worried about her. C) Tell her mom what really happened on her first day. C I think this is the best answer. K.B. probably will feel better just talking about her horrible day. Her mom seems really caring and may have some good ideas about how to help K.B. at the new school. B Hmmm. I don't think that's going to help K.B. any. Plus, her mom probably will find out that it isn't true. A That probably won't make K.B. feel any better. Her mom also won't know what to think. Are there any other good answers?

  18. Question - 3 • If you were K.B., what would have been the worst part of your day? A) When Cassandra dissed her in front of the science class. B) When Cassandra and her friends wouldn't make room for her at the lunch table. C) When Cassandra pulled the ketchup joke on K.B. and everyone laughed at her. D) When she found the "teachers pet" sign on her locker. E) It's hard to say...It was all pretty horrible. A That was pretty bad-especially since the whole class laughed at her. B That must have been really hard on K.B. Has this ever happened to you or anyone you know? C She looked really embarrassed, didn't she? D Yeah. Especially since this was at the end of a long day of being bullied. EI agree!

  19. Question - 4 AAlthough she wasn't as mean as Cassandra, Bibi, or Mimi, she did join in some of the bullying. For example, she helped to make sure that K.B. didn't sit with them at the lunch table, and she laughed at K.B. when she found the "teachers pet" sign on the locker. On the other hand…she did look kind of upset when K.B. sat on the ketchup packet. What could Melanie have done to make sure she helped and didn't hurt K.B.? B Hmmm. I don't think I agree. Although she did look kind of upset about K.B. sitting on the ketchup packets, Melanie did join in some of the bullying. For example, she helped to make sure that K.B. didn't sit with them at the lunch table, and she laughed at K.B. when she found the "teachers pet" sign on the locker. What could Melanie have done to make sure she helped and didn't hurt K.B.? • Did Melanie bully K.B.?A) Yes. B) No.

  20. Question - 5 • Why do you think Melanie didn't laugh when K.B. sat on the ketchup packets in the lunch room?A) Maybe she didn't see it happen. B) She thought she'd get in trouble. C) She thought Cassandra and the other girls had gone too far in picking on K.B. ATake a look again. She saw it happen, alright BMaybe...but I think there's a better answer. C I think you're right. So what should she do about it?
