These materials will allow students to delve into contemporary texts and will give our curriculum a much needed modernization. Students tackle a text during class instruction and are assigned another to read independently at home. While students read at home, they are required to simultaneously answer questions that push their critical thinking. These questions challenge students to analyze authorial choices and effect on meaning as well as to consider the themes of the novel within the larger context of society. This book would be one assigned for home reading. Students need challenging books that also appeal to their developing identities; the meeting of these concepts will heighten their reading ability and their concept of humanity. This specific text caters to the students' desires to see elements of the teenage experience reflected in texts they consume. In order for students to complete the reading independently, the texts need to be engaging, something that these surely are. The discussion questions that accompany this text have already been drafted but have yet to be implemented due to lack of materials. Your support would allow students the opportunity to continue their developing analyses of age-appropriate texts.
