[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its me, the co-teacher again.  We gave the students their choice of two alternate reading choices if they choose to opt out of The Magic Fish.  They are A Separate Peace and When I Was Puerto Rican.  0 out of 75 students took the choice of the alternate book, but we did give them the weekend to discuss it with their parents.  [/quote]

Thank you for the update!

A couple of questions.

1) do the students get to decide or do the parents? (I thought families hd to fill out an opt out form and then the students would be assigned an alternative - is this really up to the students?)

2) when students opt out are they given specific . Assignments for their new book? A Separate Peace is in the curriculjm and has specific assignments that go with it.

3) it seems late to be just starting a novel now when school has been in session for several weeks. What has the class been doing? Are there different readings and writing activities that they have been doing?

Thanks from the mom of an 8th grader
