[MOSAIC] Protected book lists

[Jenniffer Benedetto]

Do your students seem to mind if they've already read something more than 
once?  As an adult I  see the value in reading a book more than once but it 
can lead to problems with some kids/ classroom make-ups.  I teach in an 
inclusive setting and it's tough enough to keep their attention as it is. 
I've been wanting to teach The House on Mango Street for a few years now but 
some middle school teachers keep "stealing our thunder" so to speak. Also, 
when some students have already read something, they tend to ruin it for 
others. How do you work around situatons like this?
