I teach 130 ninth graders in the Bronx, NY. New to a school of six campuses and over 5000 students many of them have described themselves as feeling overwhelmed. But in the class when they are told to read almost all of them bury themselves in the protective layer a book. All have expressed interest in reading...and a few said they like to write. I want to keep the reading exciting and inspire the writing even more with ideas sparked from other writers.
P.S. Since I did summer school also I always have upper class man coming to my room to borrow books. So the books will help more than just my students
