Discuss the following:

5.      Why might living on the street be even tougher for girls?

6.      Do you think that the priest and the Hindu lady are really helping the kids or running a scam like Asha or even Sister Paulette? Why or why not?


7.      Discuss with a partner and then write a paragraph in response to the following: Given their poverty and lack of family support, what do you think could be done to help street kids have a better present and future? What type of assistance – and from whom – could help them lead better lives?

8. With a partner, what do you think are the areas of need for children and teenagers at risk in the Chicago-land area? Make a list of serious problems.

Homework:

Read chapter 4 for Thursday
and
Do one of the following by Friday:

A. Use the internet to find information (or ask a school psychologist/social worker) about help that is available in our area (or our school) for children, teenagers and adults facing serious challenges of any kind.  Create a resource-list of at least three organizations in and around Lagrange that can provide help for people in crisis. Make sure the list is visually clear, describes the mission and services of each organization, and has contact information (physical address, web address, phone number, etc)

Or

B. Create a visually-arresting small poster or flyer which might catch a young person's attention who needs real information on where to go for help for one specific type of challenge.
