>> 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.
