Intended Audience: This book would be suitable for high school students who have experienced some type of humiliation and whose ages range from 14 years and up.
Lesson: In this lesson students will review the meaning of stereotype. They will work in groups and come up with stereotype statements. Then discuss if statements are fair and finally write what was learned. Another way to present this lesson is by using a bulletin board. Write statements on sentence strips and staple a blown up balloon next to the statement. If students agree that the stereotype statements are not fair then use a pin to blow out the balloon.
Annotation: Audrey is an honor student, who has "friends-with-benefit arrangement" with Luke De Salvio, the hottest guy at school. Audrey's life is about to change when someone takes a picture of her performing oral sex on Luke. The picture is e-mailed to classmates and her father. As a result, Audrey is now dealing with insults from classmates, lectures from her school principal and discussions with her parents. She is determined to regain her self-esteem and at the same time realizes that she is just human. This book teaches teens that life goes on, even when one experiences humiliation.
