It certainly had me thinking for a good chunk of yesterday as to what I'd put in (which I guess is good for the brain, right?) Agree with your point re: taking away different things from books at different ages. I remember reading Animal Farm in Grade 10 - chosen I suspect because it was, in part, length-wise, an "easy" read. Then I remember all the tests being multiple choice. So to this day I remember what colour the tablecloth was. I'm thinking maybe "short answer" or something that pushed the "why" a bit more would have been a better choice. Also, I read it again in university and appreciated it much more. Sure, I understood in high school - but given a few more years - I got more out of it.<br /><br />Looking forward to surfing other entries tonight when I'm back from work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-10104484864537056482013-10-09T07:17:56.544-04:002013-10-09T07:17:56.544-04:00You can't beat anything Disney.

I think I, too, would have selected similar books before I started teaching struggling readers. Now, I read current young adult fiction that relates to my students' lives. While they may never be considered on the level of said classics, they contain timeless truths (and are easier to read!!!). I always enjoy reading your answers, Joyce!! They are as thought-provoking as the questions!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
