Novel Study: Letter Writing

Working collaboratively with a partner, you are to begin drafting a letter to Melody, the protagonist of Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper.  You are to add more content to the letter, little-by-little, as the story progresses.  Your task is to express your thoughts and feelings towards her directly – as a person and as a person who faces great challenges, physically and socially.  Your letter is to include empathetic thoughts – words showing a capacity to understand or feel what Melody experiences.  Your letter is to also include encouraging thoughts – words showing positive support and confidence towards her.  You are to comment on situations and challenges she has faced, interactions she has with others, what others say about her, thoughts and feelings she has wished to express, and anything else affecting her as the plot unfolds.
