LM_NET Archive 


I can suggest quite a few good titles. Would you obtain a class set and have 
everyone read the book themselves, or would you read it aloud to the class? If you 
do it as a class novel, do you want me to restrict my suggestions to books you can 
obtain in sets from Cuyahoga County or Akron Public Library?

From:    Anne Lee <Anne.Lee@BERRYESSA.K12.CA.US>
Subject: TAR:  Elementary Classics

Does any one have a preferred publisher or edition of elementary classics? =
 I'm looking to replace some of our abridged versions (that are rather dry =
adaptations), but I want something that will actually appeal to my readers =
rather than continue to collect dust, as their predecessors have done.
=20
Key things I'm looking for:
attractive, appealing cover
print that large enough and spaced out enough not to be overwhelming
good binding (obviously)
pictures (optional, but if included, I'd love something with modern =
renderings or quality paintings)
Here are some titles I'm considering for replacement:
Heidi
Black Beauty
Alice in Wonderland
Peter Pan
Sherlock Holmes
Little Women/Little Men
The Secret Garden
The Little Princess
Tom Sawyer
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
20K Leagues Under the Sea
The Three Muskateers
other recommendations?
=20
I'd appreciate any and all suggestions!  Please reply off-list and I'll =
post a hit.
=20
Thanks in advance!

Subject: need translator site for Gujarati

I have a student who has asked if there are any websites to translate
English to Gujarati.  I know there a many translation sites out there,
but I am looking for something that is very reliable.  I know with this
group someone has perhaps come across this language barrier.  The
student wants to put in paragraphs from her text book in Anatomy and
Physiology and translate it to Gujarati.

The approach of Christmas brings harassment and dread to many excellent
people. They have to buy a cart-load of presents, and they never know
what to buy to hit the various tastes; they put in three weeks of hard
and anxious work, and when Christmas morning comes they are so
dissatisfied with the result, and so disappointed that they want to sit
down and cry. Then they give thanks that Christmas comes but once a
year.

I checked Snopes on this and the family has asked to stop the cards.  He did
not wish for the cards.  It was someone else's idea.  It's overwhelming for
them. Here's the link: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/medical/elfrink.asp
