[LM_NET] TAR: HS ideas for novel study

[Emily Mulch <Emily.Mulch@USD428.NET>]

Hi friends,

I have an English teacher who will be instructing a junior class of students who 
are lower level learners. . . a few ESL, some could be special ed, and some will be 
students in foster care or the local boys' & girls' homes.  So she'd like something 
high interest--could be a novel or biography--without a vocabulary that's too 
challenging.

We talked about Chris Crutcher, but three of his novels are already taught here, as 
is Watsons Go to Birmingham and Tuesdays with Morrie.  I tossed out Touching Spirit 
Bear, and she's thinking about that.

Any great suggestions?  I've done a little looking in the archives, but I haven't 
found anything that jumps out at me.

Thanks for anything you share,
