For extra credit, pick one article and write a response to it.

Here are some guiding questions...

What do you already know and feel about what's happening? What questions do you still have?

What in these articles strikes you? moves you? saddens you? confuses you? frightens you? angers you?

When do you find yourself resisting any of these texts?

What confirms, challenges, or changes your thinking?

And some further, more specific questions:

Is civil disobedience effective? Will the Walkout accomplish anything, and why or why not, and if so, what? Where do you stand on the gun control debate and why? Are the messages and demands students are making clear and sensible? Whose voices should or should not be represented in this debate, and why?
