Podcast Follow Up: Other Peace Books

I know, I know. Not everybody likes to read, but you should. Reading can envelope (en-VEL-op) you into experiences you would have never experience. So for you bibliophages and "Okay, fine" readers, Check out these books! This is an article our troop wrote about great anti-bullying books. My favorite was The Wish. It is meant for grades 5 and up, but it is still great for eighth graders like us. Check them out!

Activity: I Statements

An idea used both in the aMAZE journey and the Cooper and Me Theme Guides, the "I" statements. When someone makes you feel good or bad, you could use an I statement to tell them that. An I statement is basically a fill in the blank:

I feel ___________
when you _______________
because _____________

My example is: I feel great when you stand up for me because you are a great friend. But you can stand up for yourself or a friend by saying something like: I feel mad when you take my pen without asking because it is rude, or, I feel angry when you call Wendy names because it is mean. Try a few yourself and post some you really like!
