[LIT] eighth grade classroom library

[dbuchanan at sbo.hampton.k12.va.us]

I teach eighth grade language arts at a magnet school for gifted and talented. I have a lot of 
short story collections 
the kids love: Cormier's "8+1", "12 Shots" is another popular title, although the author 
escapes me at this 
moment. I also use Gary Soto's collection "Up the Street" (?) and Eudora Welty's collection of 
short stories. The kids 
also enjoy any of O Henry's stories, as well as Saki. 

For my teen issues, I use "Body Issues,"  "Peer Pressure," and  "Identity" as subconcepts for 
organizing titles. 
Hope this helps.
