[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach 9th grade honors english at a HS.  Half my classes are reading The Magic Fish.  The other half All American Boys[/quote]

Is this just because there are too few copies of the book for every student to get the same one?[/quote]

No.  I teach with two separate co teachers and each teacher chose a different book[/quote]

???  As in you all teach the same class of students but yet each choose a different book?  Are ya'll teaching different groups of students at different levels?  If not, why choose different books?[/quote]

I co teach 4 periods of Hon English 9.  1 period with Teacher A and 3 periods with Teacher B.[/quote]

And to add since I can't edit, in Teacher B's class we are giving students a choice of what they want to read so if a student truly doesn't want to read The Magic Fish they can choose a different book from the curriculum and essentially have to do it as independent study[/quote]

My kids MS teacher did the choice novel several times.  And it can be good.  But I also believe there needs to be some building of class unity and understanding of how to do reading and analysis, so wouldn't think they'd start the year off with this.  It would be nice if they started all the same(especially in 9th) and then the teachers could build to more once they had better understanding of everyones abilities and what is needed.[/quote]
