[English] Novel_The Secret Life of Bees

[Jan May]

Thanks Jo. It's a beautifully written novel. I've been encouraging my year 10s to read it for wide reading. It would be great on book list. Has anyone tried it at other levels? Too hard for year 9? Challenging enough for year 11?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone on the list is studying the Secret LIfe of Bees with their students. I have 2 year 10 classes studying it and would love other classes to collaborate with. We have started a wiki as a study guide at http://studyguidesecretlifeofbees.wikispaces.com (which is only just started; it will grow as students add content) if you want to have a look. Please email me if you, or someone you know, is teaching this novel and would like to collaborate
Thanks,
Jo
