We are reading Amal Unbound for Global Read Aloud and Amal had one today that pretty much split my class in two even groups in terms of what they felt she should do. That is sixth grade, and I have a seventh grade library group reading Resistance and they are also debating the wisdom of trusting certain characters. It has been great.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04960920764884687750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-6205743921503194422018-11-06T04:53:58.320-06:002018-11-06T04:53:58.320-06:00Oh my gosh, the photos are great! For middle grade...Oh my gosh, the photos are great! For middle grade read alouds I love digging into some historical fiction. I adore Christopher Paul Curtis. I've read Elijah of Buxton aloud a few times, and it was a major hit. Also Gary Schmidt is one that I feel must be introduced to readers so they can appreciate his skill and heart.Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-21369637047352477162018-11-05T21:31:32.345-06:002018-11-05T21:31:32.345-06:00Ghost is such a wonderful book.

I could have sworn that I had read Margaret and the Moon, but according to Goodreads I have not so I now have a hold on it.<br />I have enjoyed all of this series by Jason Reynolds. I listened to his most recent and was Lu and Guy Lockard's narrations was truly stellar.

Yay for fifth grade teachers! I used to be one. One of my favorite books to read out loud was one that was part of an old, Scholastic curriculum. Tails of the Bronx by Jill Pinkwater. It has kids of different ethnicities and from different walks of life.

I think Ghost is a great read-aloud--what a smart idea to have students listen to the audio to bring in a different voice quite literally.
