Is there something that is missing from reading class? As a teacher, what would you do in a middle school reading classroom?

What does Chip learn about himself? Do you think a kid has the right to know whether or not they are adopted? Why or why not? Defend your answer. Do you think you would want to know about your birth parents or would you be content as Jonah seems to be?
or
Katherine tells Jonah, “…If you’re going through some adolescent ‘Who am I?’ phase, it’s not because you’re adopted. Everyone goes through that. I don’t know who I am either.” (p. 54) Do you feel like this? Do you wonder how others will define you? Do you care?
7th: Reality TV has been a part of the entertainment world since the early days of television (Miss America, Candid Camera, etc.), but in the 21st century there has been a tremendous growth of competitive shows and survival shows.
