In a world of ever increasing amounts of informational texts and short stories, I would like to encourage my students to challenge themselves to explore worlds unseen in a selection of fictional novels that I would like to add to our classroom library. I have a very mixed selection of novels in my classroom that doesn't always appeal to students imaginations. Our day to day lessons in ELA class are centered around shorter, concise texts which are great for analysis, but not so much for the creative aspects of our minds that inspired me to become an English teacher when I was in school. I hope to encourage and increase the stamina of my struggling readers who haven't found that one book which hooks them completely, by introducing them to some of my all time favorite fictional novels.
