Collaborating Teachers discussion

Just finished this book and definitely feel it's an important one to share in Grade 6 to 9 classrooms. It deals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a topic often taken lightly and used passively in conversation. Even as a 27 year old adult male I felt connected to the characters and learned a great deal about this disorder. In addition to the obvious conversations we can have with students about OCD, and about Molly as the disorder becomes increasingly disabling and difficult for her to hide; this book also tackles a larger problem that we can all relate to and that is the fear of admitting something about ourselves because we're worried how others might judge us afterwards.

For those interested, the author has worked with an educator to create a free teachers resource for this book, however I think we can definitely add some creative and engaging content to it. Here is the link
