Mortified in the Classroom
Here are just a few of the great things being said about Mortified by progressive educators.
"Mortified helped strengthen connections between
our participants and our staff and inspired our students to further engage
in processes of creative reflection. Mortified was completely appropriate
for our teen audience and we hope that they will be an ongoing part of our
program."
Ellie Klein, MSW

"The Mortified book has been a hit in my classroom!
It's given my students a way to see that their experiences and personal
angst have been shared by others, a way to examine the choices people have
made in tough situations, and laugh like crazy. Students have begun asking
for more Mortified Mondays! I highly recommend Mortified to anyone
who teaches or works with teens!"

*NOTE: Please keep mind, since our project is designed to present an "unflinching" first-person account of youth, some material is considerably intense or racy (addressing sexuality, spirituality, health, ethnicity) and not appropriate for all audiences. Use your professional judgment. We strongly suggest seeking approval from administrators on a chapter-by-chapter basis before integrating this in an educational setting aimed at youth. Even though it was written by people under the age of nineteen, you may not find it suitable for them to read in entirety or part.
