G/T titles for 6th and 7th grade - here are my suggestions: Ender's Game, Tangerine, House of the Scorpion, Life As We Knew It, or The Book Thief Kay Kuenzl-Stenerson Literacy Coach Merrill Middle School "We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those, who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes." ~ Fred Rogers

However, I have the opportunity to interview for a 6th grade reading position. Could you make suggestions for good information on what I would do differently in 6th grade? I've taught 2nd and 4th, so it would be great if you could suggest one or two books that would lead me the right direction for possibly making the transition. I'd like to read a little ahead of time so that I'm prepared for the interview. I haven't taught in middle school, but reading is my love so I think it would be awesome!

One of my new responsibilities will be to teach an elective to middle school students and my Assistant Principal suggested a book club. The problem is that even though there is a push for G/T at my school, I haven't had a chance to see if the children are truly gifted or if they are highly able and not being challenged, which can make choosing a book tricky. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good 6th-7th grade novel for a first choice in the book club since I will need to order before school starts without knowing who my students will be. The expected size will be 9-15 students at the most. Thanks Lisa -- Lisa Glos Patterson Park Public Charter School Kindergarten/Baltimore, MD [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 14:16:39 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Book Suggestions To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Lisa, I ran an intergenerational book club for seventh graders and an adult partner. We read The Schwa Was Here and it was a real hit!! Author is Neal Shusterman. Leslie In a message dated 5/26/2008 2:11:02 P.M.
