“What would it feel like to be Ellie who is having a hard time making friends?” “How would Mr. Munson’s suggestions work for you?” "Put your self in Ellie’s place?” “Think about the problem of bullying. Could you see your self in any of these positions: the bully, the bullied or the bystander?” "Take turns playing out these characters. Have a classmate be the reader as fellow classmates take on the roles.”
