I teach it at the end of the year when we have firmly established what it looks like to be a reader in my class. I warn of racy language/topics in the beginning and desensitize the word by saying it myself in a clear voice. I am pondering teaching "Speak" next year in its place. When I mentioned this to my current classes, a few said but how will the kids get to read Part-time Indian. They felt it was important. Back to the lesson plan drawing board to get both into a school year.Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706582228588452007noreply@blogger.com
