Editor's Notes
- #22: Scarlett Letter – my experience as a student, pull up that excerpt from book (p. 61)
- #23: Jodi & Dena with extreme EBD boys – Skeleton Creek – multi-modal (diary format – video link at end of each chapter) Passwords are Edgar Allen Poe – so pulls in connections to other things. Then did Edgar Allen Poe graphic novel – some of these boys had elementary reading levels, but they got Poe.
