End-of-Book Reflection Questions

The Revealers 


Begin brainstorming the answers with members of your group!


1. Ms. Hogeboom told Russell that everyone was reading the Revealer and that the atmosphere of the school was changing…”It was like a small revolution” (175). Explain what she means about the school culture and their affect on it.

She means that the Revealer really got in touch with the students and that they knew that this was happening to lots of people in the school, not just to them.

2. Describe why The Revealers project was so successful with students and judges alike.

It was a successful project because it was unique unlike the others, and it involved all the steps of a real science project and lots of information. It showed all the hypothesis and results and even videos.

3. Russell, Elliot, and Catalina's hypothesis for their science fair project was "if bullying and harassment incidents were brought to light among the whole student body in a school then there will be a reduction in these incidents as well as them being less severe in nature"(194). Did the three main characters prove their hypothesis? Discuss. What is one way you could use technology to improve the school at AISD?

Yes they proved it, because when they published other students' stories on the Revealer, everyone else read them and later bullying incidents decreased and got less violent.
