*Remember that Bad Boy is a Memoir told by Walter Dean Myers himself, so we hear things from his point of view. For this activity, you will pick one of the following scenes from Chapter 6, Mr. Irwin Lasher, to re-write from another character’s point of view. Option 1: The scene with Mr. Irwin Lasher on his first days at PS 125...that led to Mr. Lasher walking Walter home to talk to his mother. (pgs. 56-58 )

Option 2: The scene with the taxi cab including the lie he told on his mother and the argument between Herbert and Florence. (pgs. 60-62)

Option 3: The stickball scene with Crazy Johnny and Walter climbing on the church roof and jumping down. (pgs. 63-64)
