Re: Jerry Spinelli's novel - Loser
Posted by Linda on 4/16/08

    I have been reading this with my 5th grade students and love the
    discussions that it is bringing. I have only used it as a discussion
    spring board with my class, as we are still working on bullying and
    classroom environment issues. I would love the lesson plans so I can
    bring the book into my guided reading groups next year. Zinkoff is
    such a lovable and real character. I appreciate any help anyone can
    give.

    Thanks!
