Hi fellow LM_Netters!

I thought with this holiday weekend, and being unemployed, I tried to tackle
(or at least start) a project I've been hoping to complete for some time. I
have wanted to write a spiraling library curriculum, for PreK - 8th grade.
Has anyone done this before, and have some pointers? I have a library
curriculum to work with (I am going to base it on the Chicago Public School
library goals, as I am hoping to find a job in CPS again, so then I could
use this in the future), but would like maybe an outline, or a way to
organize it. Please let me know! I can also post a hit if there is interest
=)

Thanks!

> I am looking for suggestions of fiction books for 8th grade students that
> are about revolutions.  It can be any sort of revolution or a time when
> people work together to bring change to a group or community.  This is an
> English tie in to the study of the American Revolution in history.  The
> books can be historical fiction or realistic fiction.  They can be about a
> person starting a revolution or living through one.
>
> A few I have already:
>
> Catching Fire
> Revolution Is Not a Dinner Party
> Hoot
> The Red Necklace
> Can you spell revolution?
> The Chocolate War
>
> Thanks in advance. I will post a HIT if there is interest.
