Our literacy specialist came to my classroom to teach a lesson to my 6th graders, and she brought with her articles about cloning. We were about to enter into argumentative writing, and this was the perfect way to have them read and write about an informational text. She then suggested that if they were interested in cloning that they may like Margaret Peterson Haddix’s book, Double Identity.
I purchased the book for my classroom because we only have one copy in our school library and some students will not venture to the library to check out a book. They just won’t. It’s not cool!
As soon as it arrived, I made the mistake of opening the book and beginning to read. Right away, I was hooked. My goal is to have it finished by Monday so that I can take it to school with me. It’s written in first person point of view, and we see the world through the eyes of a twelve year old who has been sheltered most of her life, but doesn’t quite understand why. It’s very intriguing.
