"The new girl stood up. People started whispering. "I am from near Manila. In the Philippines," she said, and sat down. The whispers turned into giggling." (Page 27)

Questions:

  • How must if have felt for Catalina to be laughed at and whispered about on her first day in a new school?
  • What motivates people to treat those who are different as outsiders?
  • What would it take at your school to make those who are new or different feel welcome?

    1. For Catilina to be whispered on her first day must have made her feel really bad. To be in style motivates people and to be like everyone else does too. For people to get to know them and to treat them like they were their friends.

    3. I think all the school needs to do is be kinder and not judge people from how they look, talk, or do something.

    8. It most likely made her feel bad. To make a person feel welcome I would talk to them and, try to become their friend. I would also show them around to let them meet other people.

    10. to help someone new feel welcome in the school is to be friendly and nice to them. Most new people get bullyied because nobody really knows what there like and everyone seems not to like new people.
