I didn't read the last half of your post because I have not read either Lowry book (I know! I will!) and was afraid of spoilers!Kelly Polarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968381456100611120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-22674520969067153862012-09-21T12:18:40.254-04:002012-09-21T12:18:40.254-04:00Looove!Looove!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333494452915600562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-4916329368812041042012-09-21T10:56:53.299-04:002012-09-21T10:56:53.299-04:00Dawn, I have read The Giver multiple times.

I would recommend that you read "The Giver" for another riviting story that you can't put down. It's a little sci-fyish, so if you don't like that, it might not be for you. <br /><br />Enjoy! Try taking an adolescent lit class if it fits into your schedule. More amazing books to explore. The most popular right now are the Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and I can't think of the third one right now, but they are all good, and kids love them. <br /><br />Don't forget to check out picture books to use with older students as well. People tend to shy away from picture books for middle school and high school, but the kids love them. And they make great connections to content area materials being covered. <br /><br />Enjoy<br />Dawn<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
