----- Original Message ----- From: menachem - katt@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: disengagement novel I feel that Shifra Shomron's book should be included as a recommended book for the English Bagrut as it is a piece of literature which our students should be exposed to. We work on writing journals/diaries in our English classes encouraging our students to express themselves in English. What better way to exemplify the process than by exposing the students to a contemporary of theirs who has done this and had it published. Although "Grains of Sand" was not written by a foreign author, as Judi cited in her message, Shifra's book is based on a period in our history that is, unfortunately, still foreign to many of our students.
