GEN: I Just realized

[Terri Lent <Tlent@AOL.COM>]

I'm posting this to the group because I think (hope) that others have had similar 
experiences --  my high school students READ a lot!  Last year, I started a "Food 
for Thought" program where anybody interested could spend lunch time talking to the 
group about whatever they read on their own.  I let the kids order lunch from a 
local deli that delivered as a hook.  Everytime we did one, I had about 15 kids and 
5 teachers show up (we only have about 400 kids in our school and 2 lunch shifts).  
 Everything was voluntary and they could talk about anything they were reading.  I 
expected RL Stine and Patricia Cornwell which I did hear about but I also heard 
about classics like "Wuthering Heights" and "Slaughterhouse Five."

I'd love to hear from others to see if we're just a really weird school <grin> or 
this happens elsewhere!
