PLC: Shortened Class Today
1. Warming up with reading Oskar's narrative; try to get to page 15, and generate a list of questions and inferences about Oskar (sticky notes or Google doc--up to you)
2. Exploring Autism Speaks
- Do you have any personal experience with and/or background knowledge of autism?
- What are some of your take-aways from this website? What are you learning?
- Many readers have diagnosed Oskar with autism even though this is never clearly established in the book. To what extent do you agree with this? Does it help you understand Oskar, or is it unnecessary? Explain your thinking a bit.
- Optional: Click here to read a review that claims the film version of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close discriminates against those with autism.
3. If time allows: Figuring out Oskar with "Save the Last Line"
Round 1: One question
Round 2: One line
Round 3: One inference
