Getting started with Brain on Fire!
Dedicated to those without a diagnosis.
— Susannah Cahallan.
The first book we are reading this year is Brain on Fire, by Susannah Cahallan. This blog will serve as our class digital notebook. It will be a record of our thoughts and our learning as we read the book together.
Your first job is to choose one of these two questions and write a response below. Make sure to specify which question you are answering.
- What do you think it would be like to “lose your mind”? What would your family do? What would you do?
- What do we mean when we say, “lost your mind?” What assumptions are made about people who have lost their mind?
