[quote=Anonymous]Sh yes but it’s not just “pick your own.” Find a nonfiction book = we work on decoding nonfiction texts and those writing skills. Find a book on a social issue of interest = we discuss those ideas (many students will pick overlapping topics) and do writing that addresses and aligns with this type of reading Find a fiction book by a BIPOC author = yay, we can talk about essential questions and symbolism and imagery and also your reading list is diversified and you’re reading an author you might not have otherwise! Find a book that is controversial or sometimes banned = why would this be banned? Who controls stories? Which stories do or don’t have value? Why do we tell stories at all? Find a memoir = how does this author use writing craft? Can you use it as a mentor for your own writing? It isn’t a total free for all, believe me! There’s a plan and the assigned genre/book type would correlate to standards and skills we have to cover in the curriculum. [/quote]
