 Hello Forum members.
Here is one of those "pleaes Help" messages that is out of my league.
I know some of you in the academic community might have some ideas.

Hi
I would like to teach 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to a group of high school
juniors in Eastern Pennsylvania. These are fairly interested kids but ARE
NOT considered "readers" or writers by most teachers. (These are students of
whom many will go pretty directly into the service job market a.k.a fast
food/retail sales after high school.)
I would welcome any suggestions by anyone in the society for teaching this
two volume book.
I already would like to get a large world map and post it on the classroom
wall and track the voyages in the book. I'd also appreciate if anyone could
give me a bit of a heads-up on the maritime and late Nieteenth Century
languge and how to explain/make it more accessible to students.
Many thanks-
Mary Rose-Shaffer
PS I gave them a choice of Catcher in the Rye and 20,000 Leagues and they
chose the Jules Verne!
