Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |
[Author Prev][Author Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Author Index][Thread Index] Booklist help needed
Hi everyone! Thought I'd throw this out there to get some conversation going. Scenario #1: You have a middle school class (you chose the grade) of very avid readers. Avid meaning they like to read. Some may be advanced readers, but not necessarily. You have been asked to teach at least 2 high quality whole class novels to this group. What would be your top 10 choices? Scenario #2: You have a middle school class of reluctant readers. Reluctant meaning they don't like to read. Some may be struggling readers, but not necessarily. You have been asked to teach at least 2 high quality whole class novels to this group. What would be your top 10 choices? (Please note: these are not actual scenarios. I certainly realize that it would be great to provide choice and do lit circles, etc. But I'm just generating booklists right now, and these scenarios seem to work for what I'm looking for). THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE!! Cari Minnesota www.undomestic.blogspot.com **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.
