Hi Guys!
Long time, no post :)
We are on chapter 5 of our new read aloud, "Anything But Typical" by Nora Raleigh Baskin. It is about a boy named Jason Blake, an autistic 12 year old. The story is told from his point of view, and he tries to tell it so that "neurotypicals", anyone who is not autistic, can understand. We have had some great discussions so far.
My question for you today is this:
In chapter 3 Jason tells us that his dad says that "There is no such thing as luck, good or bad. Life is what you make of it". Tell me if you agree with Jason's dad or if you disagree. Please explain yourself and give reasons for your answer.
Feel free to read your classmates responses as well and comment on what they have to say, as always, respectful like you are in our class discussions!
