I totally love that teachers have started using middle grade and young adult books in their class room curriculum's. I firmly believe that books are a powerful tool for young minds and when a teacher helps promote reading, it empowers the reader and opens their minds to so many possibilities. I have friends who are teachers who have mentioned how successful it's been for them implementing a current release into their classroom settings. I know a lot of hard work goes into putting together the curriculum for their selected book. If you're using Teri Hall's, The Line in your class, I've got a treat for you. Teri has sent me her book's classroom curriculum, which is available for middle grade teachers!!
This is FREE, and the class guide is available for teachers who are using The Line in their classes by going to Dial's website here http://us.penguingroup.com/static/images/yr/pdf/tl-guide-line.pdf and Terri's site here www.terihall.com/stuff.
Don't forget, the paperback copy of The Line will be released April 2011!!
Thanks so much for posting this Katie! Also just wanted to say that middle school teachers aren't the only ones using The Line--I've had some great feed back from high school teachers and even college!
