Topics for classroom discussion and assignments:

  • In his book The Misfits, James Howe tells the story of students who are a little bit different from most of the others. Write about a time in your life when you felt like a “misfit.”  If possible, have your teacher invite the school counselor into the classroom and discuss “not fitting into a mold.”

  • Write an essay describing what it would feel like to be called names all day. Discuss what school would be like if people were constantly making fun of you.

  • Do research on “No Name Calling Week.” Maybe it would be possible to start a “No Name Calling Week” at your school.    

  • Write an essay on why it’s okay to be different.

Teachers and librarians, submit your own topics:

If you're a teacher or librarian, you're invited to submit a topic for classroom discussion or an interesting assignment. If we add your submission to the list above, you'll receive a Professional Letter of Recognition from us along with a goodconversations.com gift.
