mockingbird - five stars!

I JUST finished this book. I cannot fully express in words how fantastic it is. If you enjoyed our class read-aloud book, you'll love this story of a girl learning how crucial empathy, friendship, and closure are when life is struck by tragedy. It is a great choice for your summer reading - a quick and powerful read that earns the rare Ms. Fahey ✔️+ + + !

Think about the chapter that the SHS seniors read to us from Out of My Mind. What mega/major plot development took place? How will this impact Melody? Please fully describe one way that this change will affect her. Be specific and clear with your thinking.

Out of My Mind - discussion question numero uno

We have been reading Out of My Mind bit by bit for a while now. Thinking back to our discussion in class today, how does the inclusion program change Melody's school experience? Describe one positive and one negative result from the program. Do you think her school should keep the program in place? Why or why not? Be specific!
