Just savor the key lines and passages. We also watch different productions' versions of same scenes. But NO reading the whole thing straight through in class!

I can laugh only because your experience mirrored mine in Middle School of suffering through "The Red Badge of Courage" (which I don't remember). Can you imagine 7th and 8th graders reading "Great Expectations" and "The Yearling"? We did! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-68178073555392306742015-12-08T15:39:44.026-05:002015-12-08T15:39:44.026-05:00I wouldn't risk it.
