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 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.
I think she mean's that it is affecting the school because more people are becoming aware of bullying so this type of activity is becoming more risky do to. Mrs Hogeboom on p.175 says "But I really felt that students were actually starting to treat each other differently" this shows that she thinks children are starting to think more about how they treat others. Overall the school atmosphere is becoming a better place, student's are starting to treat others with respect and are becoming more aware of problems because of the revealer.

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

The project was so successful because it included lots of differnt things such as videos, interviews, stories and lots more. They also had a good hypothesis which was(p.194) "bringing bullying and harassment incidents to light among the whole student body in a school will result in these incidents happening less often, and being less severe.". To support there hypothesis they all so did a survey which helped convince the judges that they were right. What was also very popular were the videos this attracted alot of crowds. Over all their project was of a high standard with a variety of options and it also helped the school decrease in bullying.


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?
Catalina, Russel and Elliot proved their hypothesis to the judges(p.195) by the survey they had done. The survey showed that out of three hundred and forty three surveys, two hundred and thirty-sixty seven percent- said they had been involved in a bullying incident in their school. Ninety two percent said they had read the revealer. Eighty two percent of the students felt that bullying had decreased in their school since the revealer was published.
