Hi all,
I have been asked by a couple of teachers to attend their novel studies
planning meeting tomorrow morning. This is a major breakthrough and an
opportunity I don't want to blow! However, after years of service to a
primary only crowd, my knowledge of intermediate level titles is a
little rusty, so I'm turning to you for advice.
They are interested in using themes as a way to organize their year and
help make connections with the art and music specialists. So far, I've
heard chocolate, fairy tales/tall tales/fables, overcoming adversity,
WWII/Holocaust and an author study given as possibilities.=20
I would appreciate any specific authors/titles that might fit these
themes. The teachers would like a wide range of reading levels, and I'm
hoping to talk them into including some non-fiction and some varying
perspectives (for example, the experience of Japanese Americans during
WWII in addition to European concentration camp experience).
Since their plans are not set in stone, any other novel study ideas that
have worked well for your intermediate students/teachers would also be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and yes, I will find time somehow to post a hit if I
get some good responses!
