Jealously and envy. 1º Allison and Tony had been a couple for two years, and she wanted tony to be with her constantly at school. He loved to talk to everyone, including girls at school, and often had lunch with another girl. Allison didn’t mind the talking, but she didn’t like the lunches or after-school time with other girls, even if it was about schoolwork. She asked Tony to have lunch with her everyday, because they were together. Tony complained that she was too controlling, and said that if she continued to make such demands, they should break up. Who was right and why? Tony because he is her boyfriend don’t her slave and if she really want to have a good relation with him it most exist respect and

trust between

themselves 2º Sam loves his little brother Jerry but because Jerry has not been well his parents give him extra attention. Sam feels that his brother is spoiled and has told his dad that it’s not fair to give jerry all the attention at home, but they say it’s necessary. Sam has decided that he will go out for several school activities that will keep him away from home most afternoons, but his parents feel he should de home to help out. Who is right and why? I think that she should understand that sometimes the younger brother need more attention but also our parents

must have communication

between the family and try to give the same deal with all their sons 3º Steve is very unsatisfied with being a member of group 1, which the kids call the “dumb class”. He beings to study hard passes some test and is admitted to regular classes. H e beings to associate with new friends and doesn’t see his old pals much anymore. His old classmates say he thinks he is better than they are and they feel angry. Who is right and why?

Priscilla called Pam regularly to talk, but Pam is either gone or on the phone with Sandra. She and Pam spent some time at school together, but Priscilla felt hurt and betrayed, she told a friend some embarrassing things about Pam. Pam found out called her, and said that never wanted to talk to her again. Who is right and why? Everybody have the right of meet new people and new friends if your old friends don’t like this is because they can’t get other friends 5º Sheila was a top student, and she wanted to top award at the end of the year, sally is only two points behind her. Sheila’s only worry is English and the teacher, Miss Sims, gave her a final grade of “B”. Miss Sims said that she expected more from her top student than other students; Sally got an “A” because she worked so much harder, and Sheila should not be jealous of her. Sheila was angry and complained. Who is right and why? Miss Sims because is difficult get something but is more difficult keep up it so each time you must effort more

Friendship and loyalty 1º Annie is a new student in Alicia’s eighth-grade class, and it was obvious that she was having problems, she had no friends, she was overweight, and a lot of kids teased her during recess. Alicia told her best friend Sandra the she was going to try to be Annie’s friend, but Sandra said that would be a mistake, because the other girls in their group didn’t want to be associated with that odd new girl. Alicia does not want to lose her friends, but she is very sad about Annie. What should she do and why?

I prefer my old friends but if they really considerate my friends they must respect my decisions and maybe the girl could be a good friend for everybody 2º Matthew and Bill have been friends since fifth grade, and Matthew still enjoys Bill’s company. But Matthew has grown five inches in three years, and now wants to hang out with his basketball team mates. He feels that he was outgrown his childhood friend, but he doesn’t how to tell him that he wants to be with his new group of boys. What should Matthew do and why? I always try keep my old friends, but, if he consider himself better than his friend is because they have never been true friends so if he want to stay with new people he should talk with Bill and explain him, his situation and maybe everything result good 3ºSteve has no close friends but a group who has always teased him says that they want him to join their club. He suspects that they are going to mistreat him, but he is disparate to belong to a student group. Should Steve join this club, and why? You are free to do whatever you want but that most of the first to be smart and understand that a true friend should respect, but you must first respect yourself

Humor in the world. 1.- Matt was a freshman at Coleman High, but he was huge; he was only five foot three, but he weighed more than 250 pounds. The boys around his locker, led by a junior named Sam, made jokes and teased him continually about his weight. He asked them politely to stop, but he jokes continued. Matt knew that if he complained to the principal, the boys would get worse. So he decided to break into Sam’s locker. He shoved a of Sam’s books and belongings into a big plastic bag. He told Sam that if he didn’t stop the jokes, he’d never get them back. Sam and his friends complained to the principal and Matt was suspended. Was right or wrong, and why? was wrong because it not solve the problem, made him bigger.

He must

think about another possible solution

2.- Mr. Philips is a popular physics teacher who often jokes and has fun with his subject. Trevor is a top student who wants to learn as much as possible to prepare for college courses,

and the complained to his dad about Mr.

Phillip’s constant joking. His father shared this with other parents, and they complained to the principal, Mr. Ross told Mr. Phillips about the complaints and asked him tom stop the joking. The other kids heard about the complaint and are mad at Trevor. Who is right and why? I think both because we can learn and pay at the same time

3.- Alex

is passing a note to his girlfriend Alice who sits in from of the next

row. Mr. Patterson sees the note and intercepts it. The class is suddenly very

quit as Mr. Paterson unfolds the note, reads it silently, and then to Alex’s embarrassment, reads it aloud to the class. The class laughs loudly, but Mr. Patterson gives the note back to Alice, who throws it into the trash. Alex complains, but Mr. Patterson

says that there is no note passing in his class.

Who is right and why? Anyone because as the teacher than Alex mustn’t do it in this moment they must speak after the class

4.-The Brain trust Club, made up some of the smartest kids in the school wants to pull a practice joke on the School’s four cheerleaders, led by Annie. They go into the P.E. supply room, take their four sets of red and white pompons, and die them green, the school colour of the team that they are plying that afternoon. The girls are devastated, but everyone else thinks it’s very funny. Is this good humour? Why or why not? not because for those who are seeing if it is but for those who are passing it is not fun to spend is very bad

5. - Alice sometimes talks behind other kid’s backs, and her friend Patricia decides to teach her a lessons. She starts a rumor about Alice’s mother, and soon all the kids are talking about her a giving Alice funny looks. Patricia finally asks Alice if she has learned her lesson and tells her about her trick: Alice is heart broken that her friend would hurt her like that. Who is the right and why? Patricia, because is very funny but is no correct and in this form Alice won’t speak, behind other people’s back, but Patricia is going be to the new gossipy.

6. - Mike loves playing basketball on the school team. He is not a great athlete, but he always puts out total effort when he plays Coach Bertram loves to win and encourages everyone to give 100 percent. He tells his team never to back down, not even from a fight. In a very important game with

arch rival Carmel, Mike ran into an opposing player, and they crashed to the floor. The other player got up and hit

Mike in the face. Mike just turned

(10.turn) away, and the opposing player is ejected. Coach Bertram is so angry at Mike that he sat him down and didn’t let him play for the rest of the game. He told (tell) Mike on the bench that if he is ever a coward again, he will be kicked off the team. Mike agreed to fight back from now on. Who is right, and why?

The coach, because the fights are very funny and the one solution is the violence.

7. - Grace’s dearest friend Shannon tells their friends that Grace was adopted. Grace had told this to Shannon in confidence; because she doesn’t want anyone else to know that she had never known her natural parents. The rest of the kids are

surprised, soon the gossip spread to the whole

school. Grace was humiliated, and she feels betrayed by Shannon. She tells Shannon the she never wants to have anything to do with her again, because she couldn’t trust her. Shannon calls her in tears several times and asks for forgiveness, but Grace refuses to speak to her. Is Grace right or wrong, and why?

Is wrong, because Shannon is a gossipy and isn´t her fault and for this Grace should kill to Shannon.

8. - Sam’s little brother Bobby is crying, and when Sam pulls his brother’s hands away from his face, he sees the ugly bruise in his cheek. “Who did this, Bobby?” he growls anger rising in his chest. “Were you fighting with Ted again?” “No”, sobbed Bobby, “it was his big brother Jack. He wanted

to

trade some baseball cards, and when I said no, he slugged me and took them”. Sam’s dace grew red as he approached the circle of boys on the corner. Without a word, he tapped Jack on the shoulder, and when the boy turn around, Sam hit him in the face as hard as he could. Jack fell on his

back, blood pouring from his nose, as Sam carefully picked up the cards and walked silently away.

Sam is a good brother, because he protects to his little brother and is correct that he hits to jack because he attacked to Bobby.
