We use Boy of the Painted Caves for our summer Social Studies required reading for entering sixth graders.  That works well with Maroo.

Hi!

So my Humanities 7 class wants their first unit to be, "Who is the oldest
person in the world?" They still need to refine exactly where they are
going with this, but I think they see several possible directions. One
approach would be: Who is thought to be the first human, how was that
decided, what do we know about the first human, and how do we know that?
Another approach would be looking more at longevity and being elderly.

I thought of "Tuesdays With Morrie" as one possible group novel. Do you
all have any other ideas, especially for the pre-history/anthropological
approach?

Thanks!

Take care,
Bill
