Goal

The goal of purchasing City of Ember and I am David is to continue to enrich my fifth grade students through novel studies. This will allow them to see new perspectives and to experience life through literature.  

 

What will be done with my students

These two novels will be used during our novel study time. I am looking forward to using literature to show our students different eras of time and new perspectives.  

 

Benefits to my students

The fifth graders at Seacrest will be able to use these two novels in two different ways. The City of Ember is a dystopian novel with a female main character. Students will experience the challenges of living with few resources. The book, I am David, will transport our children to an Eastern European prison camp. David is 12 years old when he escapes to a world he has never known. My students will be able to connect this novel to historical events and will experience the Holocaust through the eyes of a 12 year old.  

 

Budget Narrative

I have found both book sets on bulkbookstore.com. This appears to be the cheapest way to buy both book sets.
