Book Lessons

[Sandy Pomerantz <spomeran@MAIL.PHILA.K12.PA.US>]

Colleagues,
        My school has just chosen our school-wide novels for the fall.
The entire school starts off the year together reading the same book or
books on the same themes - one for grades 5 and 6, the other for 7 and 8 -
as in this case.  They are Spinelli's Wringer and Byars's Cracker Jackson.
If any of you have any lessons or activities (or knowledge of same) on
these novels, commercial or non-commercial to share with us I'd appreciate
the assistance!
