Out of my Mind, Ch. 11-12

Melody hoped her new wheelchair would-

• make normal kids like her.
• allow her new freedom.
• let her beat Freddy in a race.
• make it easier for her dad to take in and out of the SUV.

When Melody's fifth-grade teacher said on page 92
"I believe every one of y'all got potential stuffed inside and together we're gonna try and make some of that stuff shine",
it sounded most like something...

• Mrs. Billups had said.
• Mrs. Tracy had said.
• Dr. Hugely had said.
• Mrs. V had said.

In her first inclusion class, Claire and Molly...

• were the first to welcome Melody.
• mocked Melody and called her a 'retard.'
• ignored Melody and her H-5 classmates.
• felt sorry for Melody and asked her to sit between them.
