Re: [LM_NET] LM_NET Digest - 10 Apr 2008 - Special issue (#2008-608)

[Marcia Camilleri Camp <marcam@WCS.MEC.EDU>]

For the Korean book, what about Corpse in the Koryo or Hidden Moon by  
James Church? Both are spy thrillers and exceptionally well written. A  
Step from Heaven by An Na is also good, as is When my Name was Keoko  
by Linda Sue Park.

> Subject: dictionary program
>
> The fifth graders in my district are being presented with free dictionaries
> sometime next week, and we ( media specialists and fifth grade teachers)
> have been asked to come up with a very simple program for this presentation.
> I'm thinking a cute skit about the dictionary, or some good quotes about
> dictionaries, or even a readers theater/choral reading thing with
> dictionaries as a theme, or something else along those lines.
> But, of course, I can't come up with anything more specific. I've searched,
> but any item that has dictionary in it has lessons, and not ideas for a
> program.
> If you have thoughts, suggestions, inspirations, please send them my way.
> Thanks!

> Subject: Summer Reading lists for High School in Physics and Chemistry
>
> Our principal is mandating summer reading lists in all subject areas for
> grades 9-12.I have been looking at possible choices with staff and the
> negative comments were that with five books to read the books should be on
> the short side.Any suggestions for interesting and short books that are in
> the fields of physics and/or chemistry would be very much appreciated. I
> might come back and ask for books in some of the other disciplines that are
> also short and lively.
> Thank you,
