14. “In trouble”
Willie Johnson was in trouble! In school this morning he
had thrown his paint water at Sue Nelligan and the teacher had
become angry with him. “Why did you do that, Willie?’ she
asked. Willie couldn’t tell her, because he really didn’t why
himself. He knew that Sue had teased him a little, but wasn’t
the real reason. He just didn’t know! The whole thing put him
in a bad mood. From then on, the entire day went to heck.
In the afternoon he had pushed Tommy Grigsley in the
recess line. He also had stamped his foot and yelled at the
teacher. The teacher had become angry with him again. But this
time she put a note to his mother on his jacket with a pin.
That note! Hew knew it was about his behaviour in class
during the day. He knew that when he got home his mother would
read the note and give him some kind of punishment. Then his
father would find out about it and he’d really get it!

15. Continuation “In trouble”
On his way home from school Willie was thinking about what
his father would do to him.
“Wow!” he thought. “I’ll get killed if I take this note home. I’d
better take it off and throw it away.”
He was just about to do that when he remembered what had
happened to Billy Beatty when he was sent home with a note. Billy
has thrown his note away and was sent to the principal’s office
about it. Then Billy was in double trouble.
Wow! He was in trouble. He couldn’t throw it away. What
should he do? He had a problem, all right. He had to make a choice,
but how should he choose? No matter what he did, the outcome
didn’t look too good! What should he do?

provided the opportunity to express their
emotions and views about issue, themselves,
