This story is about about a boy, a black 6th grader, who gets accused of stealing another boy's, a white 8th grader, jacket. The jacket originally belonged to the 8th grader but was given away to the 6th grader's grandmother who then gave it to him. This small misunderstanding lead to a thought-provoking, self-reflective time taught both boys a lesson prejudice and racism for both boys.
I would introduce the students to Wordle and ask them to make a word cloud about the emotions or main themes that were portrayed in this story.
