Re: [MOSAIC] Need help from IL teachers
I have family there, and my cousin (now a sophmore in college) went through the public school system in Lake Zurich. I think the area is great.

My favorites, which provide a wide range of topics for discussion and incorporate the teaching of many different strategies, include: Walk Two Moons - Sharon Creech The House of the Scorpion - Nancy Farmer Wrinkle in Time - Madeline L'Engle The Giver - Lois Lowry Out of the Dust - Karen Hesse Good Night, Mr. Tom - Michelle Magorian The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle - Avi Holes - Louis Sachar Tunes for Bears to Dance To - Robert Cormier The Watsons Go To Birmingham - Christopher Paul Curtis The Tale of Despereaux - Kate DiCamillo The Music of Dolphins - Karen Hesse Harris and Me - Gary Paulsen (high interest) Crash - Jerry Spinelli Stepping on the Cracks - Mary Downing Hahn The Lighting Thief - Rick Riordan Forged by Fire - Sharon Draper Wringer - Jerry Spinelli Hoot - Carl Hiaasen Bud, Not Buddy - Christopher Paul Curtis Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key - Jack Zantos I have taught others, but these are my favorites providing many discussions and activities. I would be happy to give you more information if you would like. These are great books, I hope you find a use for any or all. Susan R.
