The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck.

Great Depression, climate issues, union movement, role of government, etc. It’s a fantastic book.

A great non-fiction that reads like fiction is Unbroken. The Help is a great historical fiction, but it’s quite lengthy. Of Mice and Men is a nice novella length read as well.

Which history class are you looking to collaborate with? Time period span? U.S.? World??

The skills & academic stamina of students in adv. classes are the lowest my colleagues and I have ever seen across ALL subjects. Students also seem not to care about the quality of their work, goal setting, & improvement like they did pre-C-19. Being back in person for a year has not erased the learning losses; in fact, this group is worse off than last year’s classes. Do you see this trend in your advanced programs? I wonder if it’s a district curriculum & philosophy issue or more widespread.
