[LM_NET] Target: Book titles needed for high ability 6th and 7th graders

[Dale Ledgerwood <ledger@CAPITAL.NET>]

A fifth grade teacher in my building is going to work with 6th and 7th grade gifted 
students next year in the Middle School.

Here is her request:

"I am looking for books for high ability 6th and 7th graders.  I would love to use 
some contemporary authors and some more classical ones too. I would probably be 
using it for examining symbolism as well as how the author's time period effected 
what was written.  I know that 6th grade social studies is going to be focusing on 
the Eastern Hemisphere- so ties to Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia would probably 
be done at some time as well.  I have heard them talk specifically about Asia-- 
it's being written this summer."

Thanks for your help.
