Now that you’ve read The Assignment, here are some questions to think about:

◆ Consider your initial reaction to the assignment. When you finished reading the book, did you have a different point of view?

◆ Cade and Logan felt compelled to do something about the assignment. Think about what you might do if given such an assignment.

◆ Social media plays an important part in what happens in the book, as well as in real life. Do you see social media as more helpful than harmful? Why or why not?

◆ In your own life, is there a moment when you spoke up for yourself or someone else? Reflect on that time, and if you’d like, share and discuss it with a friend.

◆ Hate speech and actions occur in all communities. Can you think of ways to combat this antisocial behavior?

◆ One of this novel’s themes is that no one should defend the indefensible. Reflect on this idea and how you can embrace this principle in your own life.
