I will keep this short and sweet. In the history of Smackdown, I have never had to break a tie. I have read both Code Name Verity and Counting by 7s. I enjoyed them both, although I was reminded that it took me a while to get into Code Name Verity. I have used beautiful sentences from both as a place for my students to start writing.
My tie breaking vote has to go to Counting by 7s. Why you ask? It is a book that does not require much, if any, of a sell. Code Name Verity was not a book that my students were interested to read at all, not even my very best readers.
You could be my most favourite person right now... I was starting to think I was insane.

ReplyDeleteHuzzah! I'm extremely happy with this outcome!

I have to concur!
ReplyDeleteBollocks. We have students reading Verity as we speak. Granted, they are excellent readers, but it proves the point that it can be accessible to grade 9 and up.
