Detention Chapter 1 Vocabulary

Read the original scene below, then complete the vocabulary challenges. You do not need a book or any other resource.

The empty classroom

When the final bell rang, Grace stayed behind for detention. The classroom felt unusually quiet. On his desk lay a card for the school’s Harmony Week display. Grace wanted to write about his family’s traditions, but he wasn’t sure how much to share. At his old school, he had often felt that he needed to hide parts of his identity to fit in. Here, a classmate named Evie had invited him to help with the display. Her kindness gave him a small feeling of belonging. As Grace picked up his pen, he wondered whether Evie’s perspective on the display would be different from his. Perhaps they could learn from each other.
