My students need high interest, diverse , horizon-broadening books. I want my students to relate, empathize, and become aware of the world around them.
My students are a diverse group of learners. My goal is to provide my students with a classroom library that provides a wide arrangement of books. Within my novel wishlist are books about immigrants, LGBTQ, mental health, fantasy, and books with both male and female protagonists. I strive to provide my students with literature that they can identify with and relate to while also exposing them to people and situations who differ from them. My goal is provide students with an avenue to understanding and empathy for people from all walks of life.
My school’s English curriculum incorporates SSR (Silent Sustained Reading) and students have twenty minutes of class time throughout the week to read a book of their choice.
By allowing students to choose their own books based on their own interests, there are higher success rates in students actually reading and taking away lessons from their novel. Often we pull literary concepts and themes from students’ choice books to further understanding. My goal is to provide books that appeal to all of my students. Through diverse books we can promote awareness and an open mind— qualities that are essential for the future generation.
