Summer Reading Project

For the summer reading, please take a look at the following study guide. We will be using this guide to discuss the book in class. You can take notes on the questions now if you want to be more prepared for the discussions.

We will be starting the project once you arrive because you will be working in groups, and we will set the groups on the first day of classes. Your assignment will be to make a movie trailer for the book. Each group will be responsible for writing a "script" for the trailer, directing, filming, and editing the trailer, and then presenting it to the class. You will have some time to work on this while we are discussing the book and engaging in other activities in class.

You will also be working independently to complete a small research assignment on Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. You can look at the links on this blog and also look up some of your own resources now in order to start preparing for this assignment.

More details for these assignments will be discussed and handed out in writing in class. All you need to come to class with on the first day is your book, annotated, and any notes you may take now.

Please email me with any questions.
