Many of the twelfth-graders I teach were avid readers in their younger years; however, as they've aged, the selection of books offered to them have been either young-adult works intended for younger adolescents or literary classics that few adults would choose for recreational reading.
My twelfth-grade students need books that will both interest them and challenge them.
I hope through this project to create a classroom library of contemporary fiction and nonfiction that will be both appealing to an 18- or 19-year-old and give them an opportunity to see both themselves and their experiences on the printed page.
We have so many great authors writing today, but too few young people have access to their works. I would like to provide my students with a sample of this wealth.
