[LM_NET] one book-one school

[Charlene Bauer <cbauer@NCSMAIL.ORG>]

I have read about this idea quite a few times on the list and now I really need to 
know more about it.

We are giving serious consideration to doing this in our 9-12 setting to improve 
reading and vocabulary skills.  I am thinking that perhaps a historical fiction 
book that can be paired with a non-fiction would be a good idea.  Mississippi 
Trial, 1955 with the nonfiction, Getting Away With Murder, as an example.  
Something that can be discussed in a variety of ways---social justice, historical 
perspective, etc., and be relevant to each grade level.

I am open to ideas and look forward to getting some great responses.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
