Today with our supervisor Ms. D we discussed possible reading lists for the 7th & 8th grade:

Lists matched up with content area:

-(American perspective on immigration) Return to Sender

-(Caribbean: Haiti) Open the Door to Liberty

-(An American in Europe) Bloomability -
- (Mexico & California during Great Depression) Esperanza Rising

- (Africa) A Girl Named Disaster

-The Breadwinner - by Deboarah Ellis (Afghanistan)
-A Single Shard (set in Korea)
-When my name was Keoko (set in Korea during Japanese occupation)

- (Australia) Ash Road

-Chasing Vermeer (fictional but interesting merge of history & geography)

Plan: pick 2 by Christmas and could implement in the spring
