Writing  

Through our study of the book Can You See Me?, students will explore the experiences, needs and challenges faced by people with Autism. They will use ideas and themes from the novel to develop their persuasive writing skills, learning how to create strong arguments, use persuasive language, rhetorical questions and evidence to influence their reader. 

When engaging with the book Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend students will investigate literary terms and devices including similes, personifications, metaphors, and alliterations.

Each week students will be provided a 20-minute touch typing skill session through the Dance Mat Typing Computing Game. All students have access to their own computer and, through this web-based educational platform, are learning about proper finger positioning and improving their typing accuracy and rate.
