Greetings! I apologize for the whirlwind first post, but I was introduced to this resource a few years ago as a student and would like now to plumb the depths of knowledge and experience as a new librarian. : ) Briefly, I am creating (from scratch!) a library media center for the alternative school where I currently work, starting with the high school program. I was able to secure a very small amount of money through Title funds for books, but I have to get my list in ASAP. I have some money to play with that I would like to use to support the Lit teacher's planned curriculum for next year: American Lit, centering around slavery issues and community. I've come up with the standards - Roll of Thunder, Color Purple, etc. - but would love some other suggestions. Our students are considered "high risk," with many coming from situation with a host of issues like drug/alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, low income/poverty, learning difficulties, authority issues, etc. We have a range of reading abilities, but most are to the low end. Thanks in advance! Gayle Prentice Wood, Librarian (almost) Mt.
