Juno activities:
1.Juno is a teenager who gets pregnant accidentally by the freak boy of her high school, Paulie Bleeker. Juno is a very easygoing and carefree girl who firstly wants to have an abortion but then decides to find a good family to give her child for adoption. She's only sixteen so she's quite immature and pregnancy doesn't really affect her, because when she finally gives the baby to Vanessa she makes up with Paulie and continues her life like nothing had happened.
2.a)False: Bleeker’s mum doesn’t like Juno
b)True
c)False: Juno tells them who the father is
d)True
e)False: Her parents didn’t know that one day Juno could be pregnant
3. a)Why does Juno go to the Lorings? Because she wants to show them the photo of the ultrasound
b)Where is Vanessa? She’s working
c)Which music does Mark like? The Carpenters
d)How did Juno get her name? Her parents like that because is the name of a Greek goddess
e)How does Vanessa react when she sees the photo? She gets really happy
f)What did Vanessa buy ? Lot of things for the baby
g)Why should Juno go home? Because it’s late and her parents should be worried
4.They decide to adopt a baby because they can't have children naturally so they can only adopt. I think Vanessa can be a good mother because she looks like she really wants the baby but Mark looks very immature for his age and is more focused on music and movies than start a family.

1.WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT JUNO?
Juno's a 16 year old girl that gets pregant by her friend Paulie Bleeker. She's the typical teenager, kinda gross maybe, and so immature. She doesn't even realize what means to give life to a child. Anyway I see a mature part of her when she decides to give her baby in adoption and she looks for a nice couple for the child. But then she, again, looks unconcious when she gives her baby to Vanessa and goes on with her life, makes up with Paulie and act like nothing had happened.
2.TRUE OR FALSE
1. Bleeker`s mom likes Juno.
False. She doesn't like her at all, she says she's "different".
2. Juno tells her parents that she is pregnant.
True
3. Juno doesn’t tell them who the father is.
False. She tells them that the father is Paulie Bleeker.
4. Juno is thinking about adoption.
True
5. Her parents knew that one day Juno could be pregnant
False. Her father even says he would never think that she would get pregnant only when she wanted it.
3.
a)Why does Juno go to the Lorings? Because she wants to show them the ultrasoound.
b)Where is Vanessa? I don't remember right now but she's not home.
c)Which music does Mark like? Rock & roll.
d)How did Juno get her name? She got it from a greek goddess her father used to like.
e)How does Vanessa react when she sees the photo? She gets excited.
f)What did Vanessa buy ? Some stuff for the baby.
g)Why should Juno go home? Because she's been out for a while and maybe her parents could get worried.
4.Why have Mark and Vanessa decided to adopt a baby? Is there another way to get a child?Do you think they can be good parents to Juno’s child?
They can't have babies so the only way to have one is adopting it. Vanessa seems like she would be a good mother and also Marks, at first. But then we can see that he's more interested into music that into being a father.
