Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Hey. New board.
These students have already explored both Maus and Number the Stars in previous classes. I'll look at the Elie Wiesel stuff, and Summer of My German Soldier as well.
A play could definitely work. Does A Man for All Seasons have a major arts-related component?
I looked into "Goodbye to Berlin" already (great minds think alike!) but it looks like in the original, the Sally Bowles cabaret-based story is pretty disconnected from any study of the incoming Nazis. Plus, the language looks pretty difficult.
This is not the new school, it's my old one.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
What about "The Hiding Place"?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The Devil's Arithmetic is also a good one. And somewhat crosses cirriculum, so there's that added bonus.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Maybe something based around Brundibar? The history of the opera itself, and/or the kids book that came out a few years ago.

What about The Slave Dancer ?

Also the obvious Diary of Anne Frank, and there's also a book of short stories that she wrote called something like "Tales from the Secret Annex."

For a Revolutionary War perspective, there's also My Brother Sam Is Dead.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dean has a copy of that.

If he doesn't, he certainly should.
