My vote for next years book

I believe that the book we presented "My Most Excellent Year" should be incorporated into next years lesson plans because of how much diversity it deals with. Some people don't understand how their reactions to certain situations can be deterimental to the mentality of the person telling their news, but this book really shows us how to not make diversity a big deal, yet it shows us how to treat people as people and not judge them. We can learn alot from the kids in this book. It would be a great opeining book because it is a quick read but it also incorporates an abundance of information without shoving it down the students' throats. The way they write it shows us a different type of text as it shows conversations via chats and e-mails which makes it more interesting because we all write like that and we can relate to it. My vote is strongly for My Most Excellent Year, A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins, and Fenway Park!!
