Lucinda....did you do The Giver with 6th graders? If so, did you think they were mature enough to handle the heavy subject matter Lowry is addressing?

Subject: Re: [LIT] Update favorite "read-aloud" Lois Lowry is a wonderful writer. We loved Number the Stars (historical fiction) and The Giver. She has a good author website we searched as a class in the computer lab. She even responded to me on her blog. The 6th graders loved that. > > _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
