Sorry I took a shit. Anyway with the books the deal is the teacher before me took most copies of the modified novels (I teach special ed. to high schoolers). I have been using stories out of the textbook, but they are too difficult for students. We only have maybe 2 more modified texts where I have enough copies for students. I need the school to order more, but that takes over a month and they won't buy me everything that is on my list. It really sucks. My read at a 4th-6th grade reading level and the books in the library are obviously at the high school level. On top of it, I have 15 students in my lowest and worst class which is 5 students above what I was supposed to get. I don't think people understand what it is like to have 15 behavior problems in your room at one time. It is far different than 40 students of which 5 are behavior problems but the rest behave normally. Already told one of my supervisors this is a one year position. My panic attack was due to this job.

Oh, sweetie. I was going to suggest a Rofo book drive, but, I'm guessing those modified editions are harder to come by. Can you give me the exact title/publisher so I can see if half.com has them? That's a VERY stressful job!

The books I want are out of catalogs the special ed. department gave me. These are them: GRAPHIC NOVELS Page 30- EXPENSIVE. I think the prices are per student…. Graphic mythology $136.92 Graphic mysteries $83.50 Graphic myths and legends $91.02 Graphic Shakespeare $177.84 All action classics $22.14 SPECIAL EDUCATION AND LEARNING DIFFERENCES Page 22-Mystery Clues-$49.95 Page 26- Explore Your Newspaper- $59.95 Page 49-Bringing the Classics to Life Set 5- $104.95 Page 49-Bringing the Classics to Life Set 5 CDs- $123.95 Page 51-Complete36 Title Read Along Set- $826.95 Page 66- Graphic Shakespeare Read-Alongs Complete Read-Along Set $283.95 Page 72- Real World Vocabulary Complete Set $509.95 Page 77- Grammar Fun All 3 binders- $194.95 Page 81- Skill Boosters- $105.95 REMEDIA PUBLICATIONS Page 20- Daily Comprehension Is… Intermediate Level- Set of 2 Activity CDs) $89.99 Specific Skills Level- 3 book Set $57.99 LITERACY SOLUTIONS Page 140-Global Issues Set G- $319.95 (would be good for the 11/12 grade group since the focus is on expository writing)

God, I wish I had that kind of money! :-( This makes me want to write/draw my own special ed version of a classic novel for you that you could have for free!

LOL thanks

tmi and yeah but i was asking about the content is that suitable for those students esp.considering their behavior

Yeah. These need modified texts especially under 200 pages if that is possible. I find the graphic novels are really helpful in my classroom.

you may need to be more sensitive to how a story like that can ..impact their psyche tough

Huh? They already tried using the general ed. texts and feel worse using those than the modified ones. My LOVE being in special ed. and don't want to leave. My goal is to get them on regular books, but they aren't there yet.

content not difficulity silly

of Dr. Jekyll lol?

yes ...lol yes isnt there another choice?

Eh they wanted to read it

well...keep me posted if you have more behavioral problems or less after theyre done
