Welcome!
This blog has been created to help students at Prep Charter High School with their summer reading assignments. Students going into 10th grade must read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Students are encouraged to use the blog as they read to help them understand the plot, characters, and larger themes of the story. While teachers will be adding questions and comments, students should also talk to each other about the book via the blog. Happy Reading!

Mr. Neck, both Melinda and David's History teacher, initiated a debate that was racially biased. This infuriated David, which caused him to speak up. When the tides turn against Mr. Neck as he begin losing both his tempter and the debate; he tries to use his authority to stop David from speaking his opinion and to quiet down, which was solely to show how prejudice and wrong Mr. Neck was. David is then ordered to leave the classroom, which he does. David action leaves Melinda immensely impressed, which causes her to admire him.
