Okay, so one of the teachers - the same one that said that she wasn't going to like the book - but decided that she would read along anyway - ended up reading it twice. And then she told me today that she had already starting using the literacy strategies with her students - and that she wanted to try some hard literature - To Kill A Mockingbird - with her students as well.
She read her book jacket today and it was brilliant - and thoughtful - and thoughty - and made us tear up. And when we asked them if they wanted to pick their group members for their poster presentations tomorrow - they wanted us to choose - so that they could work with people they didn't know. I AM SO STOKED! It was been more than we could have imagined. I will post tomorrow on the way back to Bucharest - yes, our time is up and we are sad to go but glad that many things have made a difference. ksf
BRAVO!!!
