There are many hear that I have not read and I like that. Everyone's lists have had many that I have not read. It really does give a good list to use for when we teach.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great list! You'll be using this list of book most definitely!
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteThese seem like great books about making connections. I haven't read any of them, so I am glad you included them. :) I will definitely be coming back to these lists one day soon.
Definitely have some great books to connect students with a myriad of issues and concerns.
ReplyDeleteI love the book about Ruby Bridges! This list is great Carrie!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting list. I really need to read the Color Purple to see the dialect is written out and also to see how it differs from the movie. When we read books as a class, I always liked the books that were about people who are from different cultures or backgrounds. I definitely will be checking out A Girl Named Disaster.
ReplyDeleteI think your list is great! Very good resource to use in the future! I really like that I saw some books on your list that I have not been introduced to yet. Thanks for expanding my knowledge! :)
