END-OF-BOOK REFLECTION QUESTIONS

The Revealers


Begin brainstorming the answers with members of your group!


1. Ms. Hogeboom told Russell that everyone was reading the Revealer and that the atmosphere of the school was changing…”It was like a small revolution” (175). Explain what she means about the school culture and their affect on it.

2. Describe why The Revealers project was so successful with students and judges alike.

3. Russell, Elliot, and Catalina's hypothesis for their science fair project was "if bullying and harassment incidents were brought to light among the whole student body in a school then there will be a reduction in these incidents as well as them being less severe in nature"(194). Did the three main characters prove their hypothesis? Discuss. What is one way you could use technology to improve the school at AISD?

I think that she means everone is being nicer and also not bulling others or trying not to.

I think it was succsecful becuase they werent using there hands and they werent using violence. It was also succsecful becuase they didnt use names nor told teachers they did it there own way.

Yes becuase yes becuase they told it to the judges. Maybe we could use computers to do anonumys chats to special staff/teachers. Or we could use a slip of paper telling a piece of paper what happened and were it happened

Elliot’s Expose

When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.

"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)


Blog Question:
What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)

He is tying to send to everyone people bully everyday wether the mean it or not. He also is saying that it can hurt people even if they were just fulling around. The start of the fiht is page 95. and he says it on kidnet at page 101.
