Carly's Voice, Arthur Fleischmann


Carly’s Voice

By Arthur Fleischmann
(Tansley Reads Rating: 61%)

Icebreaker

 

What if something happened to you and you weren’t able to communicate?  How would that affect everything in your life?

 

Questions

 

Divide the group into three smaller groups and hand out the following questions one at a time.  Give them 10-20 min. to discuss each question and then bring them back together to compare their thoughts.

 

1. What are the obligations of society to a person like Carly?  How much help should each child be entitled to?

 

2. What are a family’s responsibilities to their “normal” children when faced with caring for a severely disabled child?  Did the Fleischmann family fulfil these responsibilities?

 

3.   If we are integrating children with exceptionalities into regular classrooms, what is the benefit to them and to the other children in the classroom?  Are there negatives?


Quick round: What did you think of the book? Is there anything you want to discuss that we missed?
