That's another synonym for Slam. Slam is a kind of dunking. At the NBA there is a contest which is called slam dunk contest.
whatch a part of this contest and make your personal opinion.

reaction at school

I thought about what Sams classmates, teachers etc. said when they heard that Sam is going to be a dad. I think the classmates were very shocked and everybody would talk about it. Sure it isn't easy for Sam that everybody talks about him and and how that could happen. I think many pupils asked him questions why they didn't protect and what they are going to do. But also the teachers would talk to him and it would be really complicated and tressful for Sam.

What do you think about their reaction?

the right protection

If you have sex you should protect! It's very important and if you don't it can change your life forever. You have to be very careful with this theme and take it seriously because in the book slam you see what can follow.

On this page you see how to protect savely

I think that could be the family of Alicia, mum dad and her. The parents look very conservative and square! In my opinion the doughter doesn't really fit because in the book Alicia is described very pretty and this girl isn't! They are also not that young whats the same as in Slam. They look like a perfect family with old and rich parents and a blond doughter. What do you think?

Tony Hawk's tricks

In the pages after the story there you can find some facts about Tony Hawk, the best skateboarder in the world. There you can find four tricks. These tricks were the mark for Tony Hawk. And after he crteated the last (a 900) he stopped publik skating. The following videos shows all those tricks.

1. The Ollie 540


2. The Kickflip 540



3. The Varial 720



4. The legendary 900



So these were the four most difficult tricks TH ever made. I hope you enjoyed watching them.

The Future

I think in a few years Sam and Alicia will be together because I think after all they went through they' ve got a really strong connektion to each other. Maybe they won't be together for everytime, but I think they will try it for at least one time. Well, Roof I think will have a strange but in all a good childhood. I think he will not get a baby in his teenage ages. He will become a famous skater and Sam and alicia will be really proud of him.

summary "about a Boy"

Here is the short summary of the book

One of the main charakter is Will. He's thirty-six years old but
he behaves like a teenager.He lives in a big flat in London and
Will thinks that he has the perfect life because he's rich, cool and single.
Another point why Will having the perfect life is that he mustn't care of
anyone. He has no responsibilities – no job, no family, no worries.
The other main charakter is called Marcus. Marcus is twelve and
very different from the average teenager. His mum Fiona is divorced and
they moved to London. He is having problems adapting to his new life
and his new school. His mother is depressed and heading for a breakdown.
Will and Marcus just meet by chance the day that Fiona tries to kill herself.
Fiona recovers the chance but Marcus is afraid and worried that his mum
will try it again. He turns to Will for help. Although Will runs away from
this responsibility at first, he realises that he can help Marcus, not with
his mum, but by being a normal teenager. They change each other’s lives .
Marcus helps Will to avoid with responsibility and Will helps Marcus
being an accepted teenager
