With these books (Whale Talk), my students will be able to work with a novel that they can relate to and enjoy. My students do not enjoy reading, but that's because most of the books that we have at our disposal are above their reading level and outside their area of interest. When kids get frustrated, they quit. This stops the learning process dead in its tracks. By giving them this book, one which is easily comprehended and rather interesting, I will be able to conduct more meaningful and engaging discussions and group work (as I'm sure more of them will be committed to actually reading this book instead of just looking up a summary on spark notes [most of them, anyways]).
