Prof. To Whom It May Concern: At my first reading of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time,” I thought to myself what a wonderful book this would be to teach to my students. However, these accolades are not the only reason why I would love to teach this book to students. In this four-week unit plan, I have tried to incorporate as many interesting ideas in this novel as I could. Discussions of the novel will be student-centered. Since the protagonist of this novel is so eccentric, I think the students will be hooked to this novel right away. Please read over the following novel unit and then consider ordering this novel for your high school English classes. Sincerely, 1.
Mark Haddon on his best seller, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time I've been writing books for children for 17 years. Over that time, I've received a steady trickle of letters. Most are from readers telling me how much they've enjoyed this or that book of mine, which always gives me a glow for the rest of the day. Others begin: 'Dear Mr Haddon, We're doing Authors with Mrs Patel and I've been told to write to you', which is flattering, but not in quite the same way. If they ask a question it is almost invariably: 'Where do you get your ideas from?' The best question I ever received came from a boy who asked whether I did much crossing out. Three years ago, I wrote The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, a novel set in Swindon about a teenage boy with Asperger's syndrome who discovers a murdered poodle on a neighbour's lawn. In some ways, it has changed my life completely. The other question I find myself having to answer at least once a week is: 'What's the difference between writing for children and writing for adults?' It's not about you.
Five-year-old Iris Grace is raising awareness of autism through her extraordinary paintings | UK A five-year-old girl with autism has garnered praise across Europe, Asia and America for her astonishing artwork. Iris Grace, who lives with her family in Leicestershire, began painting last year, and has already been praised by buyers, collectors and galleries for her work's intense colour, immediacy, and open composition. Her paintings are sold to private art collectors in the UK and around the world for thousands of pounds each, with all profits going towards art materials and therapy. Arabella Carter-Johnson, Iris’s mother, said that Iris loves being outside and that she can see “so much of nature in her paintings”. Iris with her cat Thula “She will watch water, trees, wind, leaves, flowers, birds, clouds… she is so interested in movement and how it changes things.” She added that Iris is “very musical” and has been since she was a baby.
