I began my career teaching high school German where I collected many resources and decorations for teaching that subject and decorating my classroom. Now I have transitioned to teaching middle school honors English and I need to completely retool my classroom's library and its look. I am hoping to build a library full of old and new classics for young adult readers so that my students can have engaging and fun (but challenging) books at their disposal for daily sustained silent reading. I want these books and posters to encourage students to try to read great novels, to try reading poetry and plays, to get outside of their comfort zones and experience the pride and satisfaction and emotional and intellectual growth that comes with overcoming a really challenging book. I hope inspirational classroom decorations and art, and a robust library with lots of options can help do this. If we don't set challenges and goals for our students' rigor, they will never grow as readers.
