BEFORE READING: Have the young reader read the list of words names and words. Help with pronunciation where needed. Since most of the list is names, suggest the young reader read the article aloud to you and be prepared to discuss it afterward.

DURING READING: Provide any troublesome words fairly quickly to keep the reading fluent.

AFTER READING: Use questions such as these examples to assess understanding and stimulate discussion.

  1. Why were people around the country upset at the comments of the "shock jock?"
  2. What finally happened to the "shock jock?"
  3. How would you distinguish between being funny and being cruel in your remarks?
  4. Do you think the DJ should have been fired? Why or why not?
