Chicken Soup for the Soul in the Classroom for Elementary, Middle and High Schools
As a teacher, you have the unique opportunity to teach and inspire your students to be goal-oriented, compassionate, confident and ambitious.
Anna Unkovich, a former teacher of thirty-five years, made a difference in her students lives through the daily use of stories from the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. For many years, Unkovich read these stories to her students and noticed remarkable changes in them, both academically and personally. Recognizing that today's children have more challenges in finding positive role models, she teamed up with veteran teacher, inspirational speaker and author Jack Canfield and his partner Mark Victor Hansen to create an unprecedented educational curriculum for teachers to use to empower and educate their students.
With proven activities and lesson plans, this interactive and thematic classroom series features inspiring true stories of other children, athletes, and celebrity role models, which illustrate how they have overcome obstacles and achieved success in school and in life. These stories, activities, and plans will enhance your existing curriculum. Designed to be read aloud to students, each story is accompanied by thought-provoking questions and exercises specifically designed, tested and used by the authors.
Your students will identify with each of the powerful stories and will be encouraged to apply the lesson plans to their own lives, challenges and situations. These lesson plans will improve and hone their skills in reading comprehension, critical thinking and writing.
Unlike other curriculums, Chicken Soup for the Soul in the Classroom educates and provides opportunities for open dialogue on real-life issues, including character building and self esteem.

Ellis Cose - Bone to Pick : Of Forgiveness, Reconciliation, Reparation, and Revenge
In a world riven by conflict, reconciliation is not always possible - but it offers one of the few paths to peace for a troubled nation or a troubled soul. Bone to pick is not only the story of victims who have found peace through confronting the source of their pain; it is also a profound meditation on how the past shapes the present, and how history's wounds, left unattended, can fester for generations.
