[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?

My DD read several of these in 5th grade so I hope they are not being repeated in the 6th grade.  Either way, it is a humanities/history class starting with the Neolithic Revolution so not all the books are appropriate.  Also, this appears to be more of a hands on class with the students engaging in activities such as Model UN.  The course is new so no one can comment yet on whether it is challenging or not.[/quote]

I doubt she read any of these books in any MCPS elementary school class, more likely on her own. This is vastly different than in middle school with written assignments and projects.[/quote]
