<p>We are hoping that our students can communicate with their southern peers through email, Skype, audio/video messages to share their thoughts and reflections on this book. We'd love to collaborate in planning this unit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are open to classrooms that are slightly younger or older as well. We are looking forward to a great experience!</p>

<p class="description">A 9th Grade ELA special education teacher wants to partner with a class from the southern US. In February, her students will begin reading the book, "Guardian" by Julius Lester, which is similar in theme to "To Kill A Mockingbird" in that it addresses racial discrimination. We're hoping our students can communicate with their southern peers through email, SKYPE, and audio/video messages to share their thoughts and reflections on the book. We'd love to collaborate in planning this unit.</p>
