I am also the Language Arts Department chairperson. The entire eighth grade will have access to these resources.
Motivation? Engagement? Interest? Learning? These are some of the elements that create an effective classroom where discovery and learning take place. Engaging students with "classic" texts, such as Jane Austen, is becoming more and more challenging. Innovative ideas, like those of Seth Grahame-Smith's, help entice young readers to examine classic literature. You can help engage modern middle school readers with the classic literature of Ms. Jane Austen. These books will be part two of a unit on Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice. Mash-ups are a common occurrence in the life of a teenager. In order for my students to truly appreciate the "mash-up" created by Grahame-Smith, they must first read Ms. Austen's original Pride and Prejudice. Double your impact! For the price of one class set of novels you will encourage students to read two novels! Zombies are the new vampire, help me use hip and trendy ideas to facilitate reading and learning! HIDE My students need 30 copies of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.
The cost of this proposal is $450, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment Mrs. W.'s Classroom:

"What a wonderful idea, two great tastes that taste great together! Ha, zombie humor. What better way to inspire reading than have the kids read a zombified classic. I hope to see another listing in the future for the new "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters!""
Jill from District of Columbia gave on Nov 5, 2009
"Thanks Jill! We read a version of the book in play format. They absolutely LOVED it! It wasn't hard to convince them to read the original. They also wrote some fantastic stories about poor Charlotte who is bitten by a zombie! I can't wait to add it to our reading list. I'm definitely on board for the "Sea Monsters". Thanks for your support!"
