Peer pressure is real and all too common! Teens constantly experience all kinds of peer pressure (positive and negative) both in and out of school. Peer pressure can ultimately affect teens' decision-making, behaviors, emotions, and self-esteem. It's often hard to navigate difficult situations when dealing with negative peer pressure and hard to take risks when experiencing positive peer pressure.
PASSAGE TITLE: “Lockwood Avenue”
This resource includes ONE full-page reading passage related to Risky Behaviors. The passage is in dialogue form to make it more interesting and relatable. To determine whether this passage is suitable for your students, this is what the passage is about:
A high school teen is peer pressured to cut class and sneak out of the school building with her male friend because her next period class English teacher is absent and there is a substitute. This high school teen must consider the consequences and make a decision. (Negative Peer Pressure)
After students read the passage, they will complete a worksheet that consists of four open-ended questions and support their responses with evidence from the text.
A very detailed Answer Key is included to help you review the answers and engage your students in meaningful discussions.
