Hi! One of the unit-planning groups in my Humanities 7 class has proposed "Wintergirls" as a novel to accompany their history of food unit. The reviews make it sound like an amazing book, but I was put on alert by the phrase "gruesome details of her decomposition will test sensitive readers" in the Booklist review. Has anyone used this novel with middle schoolers and if so, what are your own thoughts on its appropriateness for this age group? Thank you!
Take care, Bill Ivey Stoneleigh-Burnham School _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
