Question 1: Why do you think Melanie decided to block the ball and save KB from getting smashed in the face?
\n
\n
\n
\n That was a pretty impressive play\u2026but I don\u2019t think she was out to impress anyone. Try again. \n
\n
\n
\n Maybe. But I think there\u2019s a better answer. \n
\n
\n
\n I agree. I think she\u2019d finally \u201chad it\u201d with Cassandra and decided to do something to help. \n
\n
\n
\n
Question 2: Why was Melanie booted out of Cassandra\u2019s group?
\n
\n
\n
\n I agree. Why do you think Cassandra felt that Mel wasn\u2019t being loyal? (Check out the other answers. \n
\n
\n
\n Right. This was probably the last straw for Cassandra. Do you think that took guts for Mel to do that? Why else might Mel have been kicked out of Cassandra\u2019s group? \n
\n
\n
\n Yup. Pretty impressive dead block, huh? Why else do you think Cassandra might have kicked Melanie out of her group? \n
\n
\n
\n
Question 3: On a scale of 1 to 10, how upset does Melanie seem that she got booted out of Cassandra\u2019s group?
\n
\n
\n
\n Really? Check out her reaction again. I don\u2019t think she\u2019s upset at all. Would you be? Why/why not? \n
\n
\n
\n She didn\u2019t look upset to me. Why don\u2019t you think she was upset? After all, weren\u2019t Cassandra, Mimi, and Bibi her good friends? \n
\n
\n
\n I agree! Why don\u2019t you think she was upset? After all, weren\u2019t Cassandra, Mimi, and Bibi her good friends? \n
\n
\n
\n
Question 4: Do you think KB will get picked on any more by Cassandra? ?
\n
\n
\n
\n I doubt it. I have a feeling that things will get better for KB now that she has Melanie and some other friends to hang out with. \n
\n
\n
\n I have a feeling you\u2019re right and that things will get better for KB now that she has Melanie and some other friends to hang out with. Melanie\u2019s actions really helped KB. Is there someone at school who you could help? \n
\n
\n
\n It is hard to say, but I have a feeling that things will get better for KB now that she has Melanie and some other friends to hang out with. \n
\n
\n
\n
Question 5: If Cassandra bullies KB again, what should she do? ?
\n
\n
\n
\n I agree. Her mom seems easy to talk to and would really want to help. What else could she do? ? \n
\n
\n
\n Right. I\u2019d talk with Mr. Bittner, if I were her. What else could she do? \n
\n
\n
\n Sometimes standing up to a bully can help. This can be really hard to do, so it\u2019s OK if KB doesn\u2019t feel up to it. It might help if she and some of her friends \u2014 Melanie, Raven, and Lasa \u2014 stood up to Cassandra together. What else could KB do? ? \n
\n
\n
\n NOT a good idea! That would just make things worse. Besides, do you know how much trouble they could get in? Try another answer. \n
