One short film for every chapter: where we are, who is there, what happens, Nora's regret, and the verdict. Made for the classroom board.
💛 Before you watch
This novel includes grief and a suicide attempt. The films treat them with care and without detail. If you or someone you know needs support, talk to a trusted adult or a school counselor. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988.
🍎 Teachers: show this short film once before the unit, and preview each chapter film before showing it. No student is asked to share personal experiences.
All chapters ( ready)
The printed novel has chapter titles and no chapter numbers. Goal100 counts the opening and then chapters 1 to 71. Some study guides count the opening as chapter 1, so their numbers are one higher. Always find a chapter by its title.
🍎 For teachers
- Teacher guide: one printable page per chapter (answers, questions, sentence frames for every English level, key words with Spanish, exit ticket)
- Student worksheet: Lives tracker (printable)
All summaries are Goal100's own words; nothing is quoted from the novel and no cover or film image is used. The regret meter is our own picture, not part of the novel. Facts were cross-checked with class summaries and a published study guide; items still to confirm with the book are listed in each teacher guide.
