[aisle] Special Ed boys only ELA class seeking book recs

[Eichhorst, Faith]

If graphic novels are an option, she can do Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales & the March trilogy.

If collaboration is an option, she can work with their history teacher to go through the books as joint units at the appropriate times during the school year.

The Classical Comics graphic novel of Macbeth has the original text while the No Fear Shakespeare Macbeth graphic novel uses their modern translation. Both are unabridged (unlike the admittedly gorgeous Gareth Hinds) version.

I've found that the visual references & aids can be a huge help for struggling readers, particularly when it comes to history & old classics.

Long Way Down will be a quick read. She may want to add When I was the Greatest by Jason Reynolds as well.

Hi!

My friend is an English teacher in the Special Ed department and just found out her class this year consists of 12 boys, 11th grade. Reading level is freshman level.

She is reading Jason Reynold's Long Way Down and also MacBeth.

Can you recommend books you think would appeal to this small, Special Ed class full of boys. Book length ideally is around 200 pages. She is looking for one more class-wide book to read but also is going to do book talks regularly and wants ideas for the students to read independently.


Thank you,
Lori
