    Post: Novel choices for multiple perspectives

    Posted by Cat on 8/30/08

    I'm trying to put together a unit in the spring for senior
    English. I'd like us to read two novels that tell the story
    from different perspectives. My first choice would be Jane
    Eyre with Wide Sargasso Sea, but my students this year are
    significantly lower in reading levels than past years. I am
    considering literature circles by splitting the class into
    2-3 groups with each group responsible for a pair of
    novels. My students with higher skills can tackle the
    tougher novels while I can provide more reading level
    appropriate books for my struggling readers. My question:
    Can you think of any other novel pairings? I'm drawing a
    blank!

    The novels do not necessarily need to have the same
    characters, but perhaps the same theme/historical context
    (i.e. WWII novel narrated by a Nazi solider versus Anne
    Frank's diary or North/South Coming of Age novels set
    during the Civil War). Thanks!
