Rebound - David and his injury
Rebound - David reckless?!
David fell and smashed his face and his wheelchair when he apparently tried to jump down stairs in his wheelchair.
He was described as Reckless by his mom and Sean.
Is David RECKLESS? or is he something else?
First identify what Reckless is
Then justify with evidence that David is reckless / if you do not think so find a new word to describe him and justify your position.
Chat with 2 other students about the words they choose or the example they choose. Ideally people with opposing view points to create more meaningful dialogue
