When students make a connection between what is being taught and something in their lives, the learning begins. In my 20 years of teaching, one thing I have learned is that student learn best when it's relate able. They also like to be entertained! For this reason, I have chosen class sets of novels that touch current themes in my 4th graders lives. Novels that have characters connect with all my students. Through novels my students not only build on their reading skills, but they also are able to see good writing demonstrated. I can show how author's crafts like using figurative language, description, imagery, word choice, sentence structure, voice, and so on. The students can use what they read and apply it to their own writing.
