Three Children Literature Book (8)

Blubber by Judy Blume- This book is about a girl named Wendy who is a class president in a 5th grade school, who her and her friend Jill bullied a girl named Linda. Linda was an over weight girl who they bullied and they called her blubber (which is whale fat.) They completely harassed her in the girl's bathroom where they wanted to strip down Linda. Jill then later has a friend named Tracy who did a prank to an old man on Halloween who they put rotten eggs in the neighbor's mailbox. Later they were caught and had to rake leaves. Jill later realizes that Linda had maybe told on them and that's how they got busted. Wendy also has turned the class against Jill. They both seem to picking on each other and Jill finds that she would stop bullying people around. So she realizes that she would stop bullying people around.
Teaching idea: I would have the students do a writing activity and have them write something that they have encountered. Also write down questions and have them answer the questions.
