Los errores de cálculo de Lightning Girl - Club de lectura

This book is well-loved by many and for good reason!  There are so many talking points and age-appropriate topics we can explore in this book.  I can't wait to hear what the students have to say about it! (Kids who love dogs will probably be drawn to this book too!)

I plan to use a combination of teaching methods including discussion, brainstorming activities, writing prompts, and games.  I may use some slides and/or video clips, as well.

In short, Lucy was struck by lightning and has Acquired Savant Syndrome.  She is a math genius, but has trouble navigating the social world.  She has been homeschooled by her grandmother, but is now entering East Hamlin Middle School for  7th grade.  Without giving away the story, Lucy faces many fears and learns many important lessons along the way.
