After you read the rubric on the papers page of the website, you are reminded that you can chose, OPTION 1 ... participate in Cross Country Connections and do 2 small parts of the Outside Reading Report OR to complete the outside reading report. The due date to decide is the last day of September. You need to have your book APPROVED by me BEFORE the first class day in October OR have committed to the blog Cross Country Connections by JOINING.
You CAN do both, one would be considered BONUS. You NEED to make a decision by the first day of class in OCTOBER.
I can work with you on the publication date...preferably it is within your lifetime but exceptions can be made...see me!
If you wish to do MAUS I and II ... you can order off Amazon (at this time used books start at $2.03) or go to Barnes and Noble in town.
If you are looking to find a Historical Fiction, Coming of Age Story or Memoir that was written NEAR your lifetime...you can look to some of these locations for lists of books, book reviews and other helpful information.
For the Love of Ya (a Blog about Young Adult literature, author interviews, book reviews). This blog is by a friend of mine, one of my fellow USHMM Teacher Fellows.
