[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lord of the Flies was assigned in 6th grade in PA. Also, 1984. And, City of Ember, etc. They all have dark themes. [/quote] It's not about the darkness in my opinion, but more the abstractions around how societies form and collapse, how power dynamics emerge. 6th graders can read these Lord of the Flies and 1984--they don't have very high lexile levels-- but they wouldn't get as much out of them as you would once you can think more abstractly and complexly about the world around you. [/quote] No chance that 6th graders were assigned 1984.[/quote]
