This blog was developed as a resource for teachers who are looking to incorporate high quality and award winning trade books into their social studies curriculum.

19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East
19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East
Written by: Naomi Shihab Nye
"Beginning with a work inspired by the events of September 11, Naomi Shihab Nye brings together 60 of her poems in 19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East including "Different Ways to Pray," "The Palestinians Have Given Up Parties" and "Football." Many of the poems, which focus on the Middle East and the Arab-American experience, have appeared in previous collections; others are published here for the first time. An excellent way to invite exploration and discussion of events far away and their impact here at home."
