[CASL-L] World Literature 9th grade

[Barbara Lyons]

So, last week I got some wonderful suggestions for history overviews for
our 9th grade Western Civ , as it is changing to Global Studies, described
as
"a less Eurocentric / less "classical civilizations" course that would no
longer start at around 800 B.C. but instead start at around 1850 A.D.,
offering more focus on modern history that would benefit today's
globally-minded student. "

Now  (I should have seen this coming) our English 9 classes, at least
somewhat paired with history, are thinking of changing some of their
reading selections.

Therefore, I am trying to come up with suggestions for World Lit titles for
9th grade.  I have a list of fiction and memoirs (probably too long of a
list!) and am trying to shorten it.
Many of the titles that are considered world lit classics are dark stories
which are critical of the cultures- the teachers would like something that
opens the world but not in a negative way, and is engaging and intelligent.

Whew!  Any ideas, colleagues? TIA -Barb Lyons
