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. |

We have used A Night to Remember by Walter Lord. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marji Morris To: middle-lit@interversity.org Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 7:20 AM Subject: Re: [middle-lit] Novel suggestion There's a novel called Titanic Crossing about 2 kids on the Titanic. probably a little below 7th gr. reading level, but appeals to and is accessible to 7th grade lower level readers. i use it in literature circles. marji Karen Sinning wrote: Hi everyone, I've been lurking but not talking much--it seems there is just no time any more! If anyone has time to answer before leaving for the convention, I have a request from a reading teacher in my building. His team does an extensive unit on the Titanic, and he is looking for a 7th-grade novel set in the U.S. or Europe sometime around 1850-1915. He's a British literature fanatic, so he has all the great British authors in mind already, but he's reaching out for an adolescent novel. Any ideas? Thanks. Karen
