My Project

A unit that my students are excited about is the dystopian fiction unit. I am a first-year teacher and unfortunately, my classroom library is not as well stocked as I would like. These books would help a lot to ensure my students are reading the books they want to read. More and more students' appetite for reading gets less and less. With this unit, I hope to invigorate the My students are amazing and I want them to be interested in reading more and these books all help that!

I discussed it with my students and the books you see on this list are what they want to read.

These books will not go straight on a shelf but will got into the hands of eager students who want to read them.
