message from Amy (Hi Amy!) about "Out of the Dust"
Michael Umphrey
I'm forwarding the message below. It showed up in my mailbox with a
note that it was "awaiting approval" but since I dropped my
edheritage email, Google won't let me act as "owner" of the group
listserv so I can't approve it.
Anyway, get in touch with Amy if you know about the teaching unit. If memory
serves, it was Nancy W who used that book, but I also sort of associate it with
Dottie in my mind. I'm not sure whether Nancy W is subscribed to this list with
her non-school email, so if anyone knows how to get this to her, please forward
(are you there, Nancy?)
Cheers.
Mike

Hello everyone.
I am the middle school English teacher that tagged along with Renee (from Chester)...believe in all you do, and have simply followed along until I am teaching high school English and can join in along with you.
I am in search of a teaching unit.
One of you presented at MEA in missoula a couple years ago...a unit on the novel Out of the Dust. I borrowed the unit and taught with it. My students loved the novel and the unique approach.
In a recent move to a new classroom two boxes of materials "disappeared". The unit was in one of the boxes. I do not remember who I got these materials from.
Does anyone out there have a clue for me as to where I can get a new set of these teaching materials? I can teach the novel without them, but it would be an injustice. This unit is just too good!
Thanks for your help.
Amy
