My students are a smart, savvy group of 10th graders full of energy and passion. They are athletes, debaters, leaders, gamers, skaters, tweeters and snapchatters. They love reading books that "call their attention" and shun books that are not immediately accessible to their reading levels.
The "textbook room" at our high school is full of novels and texts held together by duct tape. Because of recent budget cuts, many classrooms ballooned to 40+ students whereas a few years ago, our classroom numbers were much smaller. Class sets of novels stayed at 30.
My students need new literature. They love reading. We just need to provide the books.
