[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted this on the other thread.  These are the books my child read in 6th grade at Eastern MS:

Gathering Blue: Lois Lowry
The Giver: Lois Lowry
Messenger: Lois Lowry
Watership Down: Richard Adams
Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury
Animal Farm George Orwell
Children's Homer
Red Scarf Girl Ji-li Jiang
Good Earth Pearl S. Buck
Twelfth Night Shakespeare
Our Town Thornton Wilder
Inherit the Wind Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee
Various short stories and Greek Myths

How does your child's new enriched humanities class compare?

It's a social studies class not a literature class. Supplements the ss material with a few literary works, but nothing very challenging.[/quote]
I know but the reading list from Eastern gives you a real sense of just how enriched a true magnet class is.  Also many of the books listed explored themes and events that were part of the WS magnet class and they did joint projects.  I would also suggest that if you are pulling the top 10-20% of kids from the home MS into the enriched class, there aren't going to be tons of kids who are interested in doing this much reading or the associated projects and writing assignments.  The reading list gives parents a good sense of just how enriched and rigorous a true magnet class at Eastern would be.[/quote]
