Next Tuesday (February 9), Lauren’s class will be discussing several books. The theme for the day is “The past made present” so they will look at both historical fiction and nonfiction — including one book that’s a hybrid of the two.
Everyone will be reading One Crazy Summer; they will choose to read either No Crystal Stair or Bomb; and they are being asked to explore (but not necessarily read in full) either Claudette Colvin or Marching to Freedom.
We welcome all of you to join the discussion on these posts:
- Two historical fiction books:
- One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia
- No Crystal Stair: A Documentary Novel of the Life and Work of Lewis Michaux, Harlem Bookseller by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson; illustrated by R. Gregory Christie
- Three nonfiction books:
- Bomb: the Race to Build—and Steal—the World’s Most Dangerous Weapon by Steve Sheinkin
- Claudette Colvin by Phillip Hoose
- Marching For Freedom by Elizabeth Partridge
