Hi Laura,
Last school year we did a multi-disciplinary unit in our middle school with the young adult version of Three Cups of Tea. I just completed my website that has teacher resources on it; thought it might be helpful, as I am still getting emails one year later from teachers looking for ideas!

Hope this helps--thank you for your work!
