[aisle] Trevor Noah's Born a Crime

[Tasha Squires]

So while I haven't used it with students other than to booktalk it in
class, I have read it and written a book review and have done a booktalk
podcast of it. My review here
<https://booksinthemiddle.wordpress.com/?s=trevor+noah> lists it for 8th
grade and I have a feeling some of the concepts might be hard for 7th
graders to get. I currently only booktalk it to 8th grade classes.

Here is my booktalk podcast,
<https://www.buzzsprout.com/229361/2244539-it-s-trevor-noah-born-a-crime-by-trevor-noah-nonfiction?t=0>
if the teacher wants to use it to get the students interested in the book,
or just to get a taste of what is in the book.

I guess I would suggest if they want to use it with 7th grade to wait until
the end of 7th grade.
