One thing I forgot to add....
Seventh grade TAG read the book "Night", a memoir by Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, and the students wrote on and sent a birthday card to him. They received a letter back from Mr. Wiesel thanking them for the kind words and encouraging them to keep fighting against injustice and to continue reading It was very cool to receive the letter and he actually addressed all the students by name, which was impressive. This book had such a profound impact on the students in the way that it outlined the horrors suffered by the Jews during World War II. Many said that this was their favorite book that we have read, out of eleven whole class books.
