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. |

And it has the word Ice in the title. I have it in my office!! It's published by Scholastic. I meant to respond to this post earlier. I picked up two books at NCTE in November that might be good. One is Forbidden SChoolhouse by Suzanne Jurmain. It is about a woman who wanted to create a private school for African American girls in Connecticut. The other one was on Hitler Youth, and I can't find it here at home, so I must have taken it to work. You might also look at The Boys War, published by Scholastic. It is about boys who served in both the union and confederate armies during the civil war. There's also Immigrant Kids, again published by Scholastic which is about, um, immigrant children working in factories and mines at the turn of the century. You might check out Amistad Rising. I don't remember the author or publisher. Nancy Nancy Patterson, PhD Literacy Studies Program Chair College of Education Grand Valley State University 920 Eberhard Center 301 W.
