Folks,

Since I am the librarian in a small, independent school, I also have begun
teaching 8th grade English this year. Thank goodness I am confident
running the library because this has taken me a tremendous amount of time
to develop the curriculum. I am about to embark on a unit on Twain and The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I've spent hours searching the web, looking for
projects and webquests but I just haven't come up with something that
grabs me. I thought that I would appeal to the combined wisdom of this
group to see if any of you have some creative ideas about how to bring
this book alive with a neat project. I love Twain and since this will be
the first time that most of my 8th graders are reading him, I hope to make
it memorable. If you don't have any tried and true units on Tom Sawyer,
how about a Midsummer Night's Dream? (O.K., so I'm getting greedy, but I'm
planning ahead.) If you respond to me personally, I will post a hit to the
group.
Thank you!
