Eve,
We are reading The Trail of Tears by Joseph Bruchac. It is a "Step into
Reading" book, level 5. It is not as challenging as I would like, but it is a
good way to introduce Textmapping so they can focus on the process.
The story I wanted to use is: The Trail on Which They Wept: The Story of a
Cherokee Girl by Dorothy Hoobler. It is a chapter book about a young girl and
her family's experiences when forced to leave their home in Georgia. I used it
when I was student teaching. Unfortunately, it is out of print. If I can locate
enough for a Lit. Circle, I will use it to revisit this topic.
