----- Original Message ----- From: Shelley Cooper - shelleycooper2002@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Literature I teach Native Speakers in 7th, 8th and 9th grades, and some of our favorites are: We and They, I Loved You Enough, Piano, old age sticks, Facade, I Have a Dream, The Godfather, The Ransom of Red Chief (all of Cool Collection 2) The Hitchhiker, The Mouse (from Cool Collection 1) I usually use these pieces to kick off themes relating to the subject matter. For instance, I use The Godfather to introduce a unit on crime, murder mysteries, and comparing books and movies. I would also appreciate other teachers' feedback on this matter. I'm always looking for something new and fresh.
