Body+of+Christopher+Creed+Discussion

This year Freshman Reading Survey with English read The Body of Christopher Creed. This book deals with issues of bullying, stereotypes within the school climate, personal beliefs, etc.... There are many different journal/writing assignments that can be connected to this book. I have found that students are more comfortable in engaging in discussion, after they have written down their thoughts. Some ideas for writing prompts that I have used:


 * What does it mean to be indifferent?
 * Make a connection to DHS. Where do stereotypes emerge? How are certain groups treated? Why are they treated this way?
 * How can you be an agent of change?

These are just some examples of journal prompts that can then lead to a larger discussion, writing assignment, etc....
