Oh, Wise Ones, I have been forced to face the fact that in some areas, the U.S. educational system has lost it's mind. Here is the situation a friend of mine is facing, and has asked for help with. We have a class of Level 1, English Language Learners. These kids are right off the boat and can, MAYBE, say "Hello, how are you." in English. We have a school system that has decreed that "total immersion" is the only way to teach English to their students. Their reading assignment? "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Raisin in the Sun." We are desperately searching for the following, Either a simpler book with the same theme or A simplified version of these titles. I remember reading a simpler version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" in french when I was taking classes. Does anyone know of simplified versions of these two titles. Any help will be appreciated!
