Another main event in the story "Out of My Mind" is when Melody made the quiz team to go to Washington.  the "gist" of this story is that it is about how a disabled girl can be much more than based on her looks. She can also prove other people that she can do anything. You go along with Melody in an amazing journey to see how she feels.]]> 2017-08-23 16:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/2021215/ba6bzfqyuqtm/wish/182375314 2021215 https://padlet.com/2021215/ba6bzfqyuqtm/wish/182461011 Melody changes throughout the book by coming out of her shell and gaining the ability to talk with the help of her new computer.  She gets new friends and has many times where she can interact with people that are different from her.]]> 2017-08-23 23:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/2021215/ba6bzfqyuqtm/wish/182461011 2021215 https://padlet.com/2021215/ba6bzfqyuqtm/wish/182461199 The theme of "Out of my Mind" is how a person can be much more than what is shown on the outside. ]]> 2017-08-23 23:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2021215/ba6bzfqyuqtm/wish/182461199 2021215 https://padlet.com/2021215/ba6bzfqyuqtm/wish/182461355 Events in this book are:
