The rising action was when Melody tried out for a team of competitive students, and makes the team. The conflict in the book was when Melody goes to competition in Washington D.C, but gets left there alone. The resolution was when her teammates apologize, and she forgives them. ]]> 2018-08-30 00:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433187 2040812 https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433189 To me the main theme of the book was courage. Melody was continuously courageous, and knew who she was to herself/others. ]]> 2018-08-30 00:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433189 2040812 https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433206 Throughout the book, Melody changes when she becomes more confident, and believes in herself to be outgoing with others no matter what they think]]> 2018-08-30 00:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433206 2040812 https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433216 The main events of the book were when Melody was able to begin working in the main classrooms, and got to interact in a "normal" class procedure. Secondly, Melody got the idea to purchase a computer that allowed her to speak out loud through it. Thirdly, was when Melody worked hard to study for the Whiz Kidz team, and ended up getting the best score/ going to Washington D.C. ]]> 2018-08-30 00:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433216 2040812 https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433222 The most visualizing part of the book to me was when Melody spoke about the way she saw music. I visualized it the way she described it, being, colorful and seeing different pictures with the music. ]]> 2018-08-30 00:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433222 2040812 https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433227 The conclusions I am drawing about the events in the book are that many kids with disabilities may seem restricted, but they all have their own character traits; they all are more than what they seem.]]> 2018-08-30 00:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433227 2040812 https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433242 I can connect Out of My Mind to the book Wonder, because now that I have read both books I have two perspectives. Auggie in Wonder too has a disability with his facial structures, and too goes to school unhappy/nervous. The two can relate by how no one really sees their hidden personalities until they get to know them.]]> 2018-08-30 00:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433242 2040812 https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433250 Although I enjoyed reading Out of My Mind, I did have questions on how the main character, Melody, had dealt with the restrictions of her disability. I think about how if I were in her position I would potentially not have as much of a positive attitude as she showed throughout the book. ]]> 2018-08-30 00:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/2040812/q7ky3eydo5x0/wish/276433250
