[LM_NET] ELEM: TARGET: 6th gr. read aloud - procrastination!

[Charlotte Lesser <clesser@MRSD.ORG>]

Hello Collective Brain!

We have a 6th grade class that as a whole has a hard time getting work done on time 
and also understanding the concept of accepting responsibility for lost/misplaced 
homework or assignments.  The teacher asked me for a recommendation of a read aloud 
that might lead to some good discussions of accepting responsiblity, consequences 
that happen when you don't, the concept of procrastination, but she isn't looking 
for life & death situations as a book theme.

I really am stumped on this one - any good ideas out there?!

I will post a hit-
thanks,
Charlotte
