We will read The Crossing (Gary Paulsen) and The House of the Scorpion (Nancy Farmer) as a class.

You will work in a small group to read and to participate in an online discussion based on one of these four novels with high school freshmen. (Note: The students selected these four books from a bibliography of Southwest novels.)
