Vocabulary: Here are some words I picked out. Please comment with any teaching links you find and I will add them to my list! Being that The List is such a new book, it is difficult to find much more than reviews online.

Maybe you can create a contest in your class using this prompt! The prompt for the contest is a great post reading activity. Writing Prompt: This site is a link to a writing contest (unfortunately the contest ended in April).Teachers: Here are some resources to help you use this book in your classroom. It provides you with the list which I found to be a great reference when I first started reading and couldn't keep all 8 of the girls straight. Helpful Hint: Make sure you read the prologue. How is the seal being passed around? Is it a boy or girl posting the list? Will anyone ever find out? High School captured perfectly. No one knows who posts the list each year, but a stolen school seal marks that the list is official. As you read you will meet each of the 8 girls and see how they have been affected by seeing their name on that list. Each of the girls this year have a very different reaction. No matter if it is an honor or a horror to be put on this list, one thing is for sure, these 8 girls become the center of attention as everyone looks to see their reactions. By the end of this book, you'll be asking yourself which label is worse. The list consists of 2 girls from each grade. On the 4th week of September for as long as anyone remembers, hundreds of copies of "the list" are posted at Mount Washington High School. Siobhan Vivian brings us the typical high school caste system in The List.
