Answer the following questions about Seventh Grade.
| Question |
Answer |
| What background information do you learn about Victor? |
Victor is interested in Teresa and is constantly trying to impress her. |
| When the boys scowl, the girls look at them. What might the girls be thinking? |
What I think the girl would be thinking is, “What are they doing? Are they trying to impress us?” |
| What obstacles are getting in the way of Victor making Teresa “his girl”? |
One of the obstacles is in French class where he didn’t know how to speak french. Another obstacle is when she barely notices him |
| How does the tension increase now that Victor and Teresa are in the same class together? |
The tension increases higher because it applies more pressure on Victor to impress Teresa. |
| Why did the teacher turn his back and walk to the blackboard? |
The teacher turned his back because he knew Victor didn’t know how to speak french. And he also didn’t want to waste his time. |
| The French teacher, Mr. Bueller, realises that Victor is faking his knowledge of French, yet he does not let anyone know about it. What impression does Mr. Bueller’s action tell you about him as a person and as a teacher? |
Mr. Bueller is a teacher that Victor is currently asking for forgiveness for. He is also someone that minds his own business. Mr. Bueller also doesn’t want to waste his time with people who show off by thinking they know French. |
