I was out sick yesterday. While my kids were working hard on upcoming presentations, my awesome sub picked up Gatsby from my desk and read through it. The kids noticed. Today, kids from nearly every class asked if “we really GET to read Gatsby.”

My rainy day bookstore wandering turned up this awesome graphic novel adaptation of Thomas King's "Borders", which we already use in NBE3U.
Will make an interesting bridge to my NBE3C course, which focuses more on graphic text.
