Hi,
I'd like to hear which novel other 5 point teachers use. We've taught The
Wave for the past 3 years, but we're thinking of switching books since it
isn't very challenging, and many of the students have already read it in
Hebrew. We're looking for a book whose theme is relevant to the students.
I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks,
Sharon
