"Gossip soaks through a middle school like gasoline from a rusty can. And, as with spilled gasoline, the effects can be explosive. My students---reluctant readers at high risk of dropping out---easily appreciate the power of a few ugly words scrawled across a bathroom door. I'd like to use this appreciation to help get them reading.
In my urban middle school, we've built a comfortable multi-grade classroom in which older students can become readers. "Sticks and Stones" is a low-readability high-interest book that seizes attention and makes kids think about the destructive power of gossip. This is a book that gets passed around. Unfortunately, we have only one copy and it is WORN OUT! A class set of this book will make shared in-class reading possible for each of my four Language Arts classes. We'll also use the book as a springboard for a Socratic Circle discussion of the power of hurtful language and policies used to prevent cyberbullying. "Sticks and Stones" is a unforgettable book about a topic that matters to my students. Your contribution will help us become both better readers and wiser human beings. HIDE My students need 22 copies of "Sticks and Stones" by Beth Goobie and 8 copies of the Spanish translation "El Que Diran."
The cost of this proposal is $362, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment Ms. L.'s Classroom:
