Dealing with Conflict T-P-S • When it comes to problems and conflicts, how would you describe Wallace’s style? Does he deal with things head-on or does he run away from conflict? • Can you think of some examples that show how Wallace deals with problems or conflicts? • What kind of conclusions can we draw about a character based on the way they deal with conflict?
Listening • How does Wallace deal with conflict? • Listen to pgs 138-142. • Listen to think aloud. • T-P-S • Even though Wallace is banned from rehearsals and the performance, he gives one more suggestion about the play. Does this help you draw any conclusions about him?
Partner read: 142-150 • What do you think makes Rachel change her opinion of Wallace? • What conflict is bothering Rachel? What conclusions can you draw about Rachel from the way she handles this problem? (write) • On page 145, when Rachel visits Wallace, she notices a poster on the wall in his room. What is the significance of this poster? What does it say about Wallace? • Rachel and Cavanaugh have a conversation on pages 149-150. What conclusions can you draw from this conversation about how these two REALLY feel about Wallace? How do you know?
Reflection # heads • Although Wallace began this story as the town’s hero, now no one wants to sit with him or speak with him. What has made him so unpopular? • What advice would you give Wallace? • Have you ever known someone who is considered popular and then suddenly was no longer popular? What caused this change? What is something the person said or did? • Can popular people become unpopular through no fault of their own? How might this happen?
