Is anyone else going to EnderCon July 5-6, 2002 Utah Valley State College Orem, Utah [link removed] ?
The teacher's panel Saturday is going to be pretty much an open discussion -- teachers sharing ideas. The moderators, Cevin Carr and Phillip Absher, have both taught Ender's Game. According to Orson Scott Card they'll share their ideas and then kind of open it up for discussion.
I have used the Ender's Game short story with 9th grade students at Ogden High School. David-Glenn Anderson rffutah @ aol.com
I joined a postcard exchange and we are still short a few states. If you are interested, here is the explanation from the project leader and a URL to her site for more information.
Here's a public invitation for application to the IndiVisual/Hewlett-Packard 'Read for Life' scholarship. I feel this is important to share with the public and hopeful you will help the spread the word with teachers and schools administrators about this great scholarship opportunity to help struggling readers.
The 'Read for Life' scholarship consists of a wireless mobile reading lab complete with 5 Hewlett-Packard laptop PCs complete and 3 years unlimited student-use of IndiVisual Reading ($25,000 value). Another plus with this scholarship is the fact that Dr. John Manning, a former president of the International Reading Association, is the author/advisor behind the IndiVisual Reading program. The scholarship is available to any public, private, parochial or charter school within the United States.

I am scheduled on a Beyond Harry Potter (You may have read A Wrinkle in Time when you were young. Your children may be reading Harry Potter. But there are many more interesting books of children's science fiction and fantasy literature available. We have a few suggestions.) panel at ConJose.
One problem in making any book suggestions is the short life span of books available. Do you have a favorite for 3- 7 grade students?
