- Reading
- Use the fashion-show contest as a starting point for talking about ambition and fair competition. Ask what options Angela might have considered before accepting help that comes with a fee.
- Themes
- Popularity and costly choices: Angela accepts Shayla’s offer to secure her victory in the school fashion show in exchange for a fee; the premise says she learns popularity can come at too high a price. The premise frames the bargain and the pursuit of popularity as carrying a cost, rather than presenting the offer as an uncomplicated route to success.
- Worth knowing
- Peer criticism of Angela’s designs and competition for the show-director position feature in the premise. Shayla’s offer involves paying for help to secure the role.
