Paper Menagerie (story) by Ken Liu! (Really, anything by Liu)

Before listening to Lamar Burton’s reading of the story, we tried as a class to follow a YouTube origami tutorial — really great bonding story for class & helped us understand the narrator’s mother more!

one I tried (by my favorite author) but ended up not caring for: ‘My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry’ by Fredrik Backman

one I hated (as did my students): ‘A Separate Peace’ by John Knowles. taught it as a book club pick that I personally did not choose.
