At the moment I have zero class sets of novels. My school is so amazing in that we are allowed to select what we want to teach. I have selected 8 engaging novels in a variety of genres as a platform to teach the standards. In addition, I am going to create and/or buy some activities that promote rich discussion and learning. I have chosen some classics that I remember reading and really enjoying as a student such as Number the Stars, a text about a Jewish family's attempt at surviving WW2. I have chosen Hatchet, a text about a young man who is stranded on an island and his survival. I also chose some more current novels such as Wonder, which I could use to help students understand the differences all students share, a crucial topic to discuss as they get ready to go to middle school. I chose Bud Not Buddy, which has some relatable themes for my students such as single parent family, hunger, homelessness. All in all, these books are going to guide my instruction for the whole year when I teach the Literature Standards! I am so excited to have some amazing and rich discussions with my 5th graders.
