This week's question was:
Melody has several disabilities. Considering the things she can not do
(walk, talk, use her hands well)...
Which do you think would be the worst? Why?
Entries were due today. We will pick two winners and announce them on Monday One for the best essay. Everyone will be entered into a drawing for a second chance prize!
Here is teacher, Lisa Morrow's response to that question:
Personally, the idea of having no means of communication would be my WORST
nightmare. I love to sing and talk talk talk. I am passionate about expressing
myself in a variety of ways, but I am so eager to use very specific words and
tones that I really value my ability to speak and speak well. I had to be silent
for three days after vocal chord surgery, and it was frustrating even though I could
write and move and gesture. Still, I could not express my thoughts with the same
clarity or inflection or specific language or in the short time periods used for
conversations.
