My Students

I have an AP Literature class and two English 12 classes during the daytime and two English 12 classes at an alternative school in the evening. My students are a diverse group who will be headed to college or the workforce soon.

One of the best parts of teaching these students is discussing great works of literature in class.

Unfortunately, the pandemic has had a negative effect on my students' opportunities to participate in book discussions. Social distancing, virtual learning, and illnesses have created disruptions that I believe we can overcome through the study and discussion of books.

My Project

It has been 14 years since our school has been able to add new novels to our curriculum. Since that time, many of our books have been lost, damaged, or have just worn out as they have been shared throughout our classrooms. We need to not only add some new titles for our small-group literature circles but also replace some of the classics that we read as a whole class.

My students enjoy engaging with and talking about great literature.

Their ability to read closely, have open discussions with their peers, and write clearly about what they have read are important life skills that they will need as they enter college or the workforce. The books that I have chosen will help students hone those skills.

By providing access to classic literature and opportunities for small-group choice, I will be able to provide students with a well-rounded reading experience that includes both guided and independent study.
