[ISLMA-Share] Curriculum Help

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have two popular semester electives.  Our Poetry & Prose class puts
different short stories, poetry, and essays together by theme each week.
Our Novels class reads four novels together each semester while the
students choose additional novels to read outside of class.  The teachers
are really into collaboration so both courses partner with the LMC for
literature circles and inquiry projects.  Novels may be repeated once (each
semester's reading line-up is different).
