(I actually keep hearing the song by Guns-n-Roses everytime I think about this.)
Back on April 6 of this year, I posted on the experience of some California students reading Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.
Yesterday, I received the newest issue of Econ-Exchange. It contained a good lesson on that book. And it placed the economics within the historical context. The issue also contains a lesson for middle school teachers using The Pearl, as well as a valuable bibliography for economic concepts in elementary literature, and a great article on economics in literature in general by Dr. Michael Watts of the Center for Economic Education at Purdue University.
It's worth a look.
