Good morning all,

Our 8th grade is getting ready to start a new unit - Critical Literacy: Unlocking Contemporary Fiction and they are looking for a list of titles to offer the kids.

What have you all been using for this unit? This is our first time with this unit and I am looking for suggestions to pass along.

Thanks!

Kate
