Ideas: If you have a self-contained classroom or the opportunity to develop thematic units with language arts and social studies teachers, here are a few books that would enhance education through literature circles:
Crispin by Avi (Newberry Award)
King Arthur and His Knights of the
Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green
(Unabridged classic) If at all possible, try to include the school librarian, music teacher, and art teacher in planning your unit. If you have any ideas or resources you would like to share, email me!
