Re: Lesson plan idea for book"A Child Called It'
Posted by Kerry on 9/04/08
I am going to be teaching this book to my 9th grade classes. My
students have loved reading this book in the past. I would love
to have a copy of your teaching materials on this book. Please
email them to me at kjackson@aiken.k12.sc.us. Thanks!
