[LM_NET] TARGET: SEC: Latin American literature independent reading list

[Rena Deutsch <rdlibnyc@GMAIL.COM>]

We have a Latin American literature class of 10th grade students who have
(of course) a wide range of reading levels .. In a couple of months, they
will be required to do an independent reading project, reading a book of
fiction or memoir written by Latino/a author, -- I believe that the teacher
will also allow them to read books which actually take place in Latin
America as well.

In anticipation I am putting together my lists and potential book orders.

Some books are "off" the list, since they are read in class -- they include
Like Water for Chocolate, House on Mango Street, Down These Mean Streets,
How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accent, and Parrot in the Oven: Mi Vida.

I know there have been some posts in the past with such lists, but of course
I can't find them now.

If you have a list, or have some titles to recommend, please send them on!

I will post a HIT
