Now You Try

Now it is your turn. Ms. Lee teaches a 3rd grade class. As you read about her problem, be thinking of what advice you will give her.

Scenario

Ms Lee explains to you: "Auditions went really well last week! However, when I announced the cast today, Tom became very upset. Although it was the part he had wanted, he didn't want it today! He told me he didn't want to be an alien anymore and if I didn't change his part, he would drop out of the Opera. What should I do?"

Take a moment and think about what you could tell Ms. Lee. Write down your ideas, then go to the next page to compare them to how our specialist would handle the situation.
