Query: !!!SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT CHANGES STUDENT!!!

I am a Pre-AP English teacher who was given a class set of Crusader from a librarian in our system due to mature content of the theme. I read the book upon receiving it, and thought that it would make an excellent summer novel to assign my students. I was correct. I find it highly gratifying as a teacher when a book causes growth and change in a student- the entire reason I teach in the first place. Crusader did just that. The ones who chose to read it expressed in their summer projects how the trials of Roberta made them thankful for what they have and respectful of those who are not so fortuante. Thank you Mr. Bloor for giving us teachers such wonderful materials!
