Water Weight - Escape with Imagination

Something Different

"Every human wishes to be something different, yet you don’t like being different in the way that you are different!

And on top of that you all make fun of different people, simply for being what?

Different!"

Discuss this statement from Pool with your class.

• Do they agree with what Pool is saying? Why or why not?
• Do they ever wish to be different?
• What happens to Aliyah and Markie when their wishes are granted?
• Is changing who you are to be someone else really worth it? Explain.
• Having seeing Water Weight, do they still wish to be different? Why or why not?

With the discussion complete, ask students to create a piece of art that showcases how proud they are of who they are. Place their finished pieces up around your classroom so that students can share who they are with their classmates.
