I truly believe having individual copies of A Wrinkle In Time (9th) and The Crucible (11th) will allow my students to have far more agency in pacing their reading for class as they see fit. For many of my students, the only time they have access to educational materials is during the school day which makes incorporating reading and writing difficult in their personal lives outside of school. With class sets of these texts, I believe that the output of independent reading will be much higher than otherwise. Furthermore, both of these texts allow for the students to apply culturally and socially relevant topics of the day to. In the case of A Wrinkle In Time, representative diversity could spark a new interest for students when building on out content knowledge around the theme of our first quarter (Identity and Choices) by analyzing how a character/author's choices leads to understanding perspective and identity. The same could be said the strong sociopolitical exploration that is provided in the Crucible, while many of my students may not have lived in the era of McCarthyism I think there is a rich potential for anchoring understanding themes of conformity, the rights of the individual and societal relationships between the two.
