[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

A few people asked for the list on youths as advocates. Well, here it is. It is only a draft, so expect changes as we work on it.

Subject: [AISLE-Share] Youth as Advocates for 6th grade

Good afternoon all,

I am working on creating a reading list for next year on youth advocates that have pushed for change. In our current writing curriculum we have articles on:

•       Jake Andraka ~ Cancer research

•       Alex Lin ~ Environmental issues

•       Alex Libby ~ Bullying

•       Sophia Cruz ~ Immigration

•       Malala ~ Education

Hence, I am looking for two things:

1.    Non-fiction titles on similar energetic young adults. For example, I think I am going to add The Boy Who Invented TV : The Story of Philo Farnsworth to the list as one that is right at the grade’s reading level. I am rocking the inventors, I really need suggestions on youth that made political and social change.

2.    Fiction titles with a hero that does these things. For example, I am thinking about adding Jackie’s Wild Seattle, Adam Canfield of the Slash, and The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora.

The materials need to cover a wide range in reading abilities. I have 6th graders that read at a high school level as well as some that are beginning readers.

Suggested titles/people are appreciated.

Sincerely,

Alan, Librarian serving Brooks Middle School
