Willie uses misbehavior to draw attention to himself. He acts weird, tattles, steals, lies, talks loudly, bullies, and dresses sloppily. He does these things, but when the other students call him names that describe his behavior, he feels upset.
Willie finally learns that being himself, and not playing misbehavior games, is the best way to act. An excellent resource to help students learn that if they don't want the name, they shouldn't play the game. In addition to the story, discussion questions and reproducible activities are included.
