I recently finished reading The Pigman, by Zindel, which talks about the "growing up" of two teenagers. We see how they begin to outgrow their selfishness and start to look more outward as they end up befriending an old man who they meant to play a prank on. They begin to recognize their place in a world larger than themselves.

So, I wonder how I would teach this in the classroom, or what kinds of projects I could incorporate into it? Ideas? If you havn't read it, I highly recommend it!
