Hero's Journey Lesson 5

The girls did the reading last week (but with our exuberant houseguests here that was all) and started the writing today. Faith is having trouble with the assignment today, even though she spends hours and hours writing in first person as another character, like, all the time, so I don't know what's up with that. I suspect that it is a symptom of some other anxiety she is experiencing. Or possibly gamma rays. Whatever. Autistic teens with anxiety are tricky. Abby is done though. ADHD-PI teens aren't tricky, just either ON or OFF. Today, she was ON, which she usually is. She runs out of mental energy and flakes off, but she never has trouble actually starting.

They have selected their other project, or, well, they are supposed to have done so. We'll see. And they keep forgetting to take notes as they read, so they have to go back. That's more a feature of a really good book, I think. Which it is. HOuse of the Scorpion had a bit of a slow start but then it got going like mad. Good read.
