My request is for additional copies of the high interest novel; The Westing Game. These copies will add to the current literature set that I already share between two classes. I use these novels to teach 6th grade reading and writing standards. Due to limited class time, limited number of books and students who read at different speeds, my students are not always able to keep up on reading their assigned chapters to prepare for discussions. I try to accommodate my students by putting a copy of the book as well as the audiobook version of the book online in their Google Classroom. This accommodation only works if students have internet at home or have access to a computer, which many do not have, and this causes them to fall behind.
With the extra copies of The Westing Game, my students will be able to have their own book to take home as needed. Sharing one set of books between two classes does not always give my students the needed access to the book and allow them to complete their reading assignment.
