  1. I've tried to keep graphic novels in my classroom before. Bone and Watchmen get stolen pretty quickly, though I don't know any high school student who's actually read the complete Watchmen. Persepolis and Stitches get ignored.

    This is a pretty great list. I'm bookmarking this page so the next time I'm ordering books for my classroom library, I can remember some of these. thanks.

  2. Thanks Brent for your comments. Agree about Persepolis, although I do think with minimal support it can become interesting. I was surprised at how much students don't know about Iran. Glad the list is one you bookmarked.

    Found your blog & read through and am following it now. Curious about your IB teaching experience.

  3. Imagine a beautiful room that draws gasps of appreciation when people enter the room. If you are thinking of your living room, adjust your perspective and take a mental walk to your shower.http://www.findtaps.co.uk/36-shower-taps

  4. It is indeed a wonderful http://www.faucetsmarket.com/bathroom-accessory-bathroom-mirrors-c-4_5.html for you to consider as your daily usage. You will love to enjoy the Kitchen faucet from then on. It will bring you an all new feeling. As can see that Antique brass faucet flow decentralizes or sprayed, just spin the button on the head.
