At the end of the 2018-19 school year, I surveyed the students who would be enrolled in my English 12 course for 2019-20. With a large male population, all of the students asked for more real-world literature and non-fiction novels. The students and I listed out the standards and chose 3 high engaging novels that would pique their interest and merge with their lives. One novel is about a shooting that occurs in a mall (similar to Mall of America), a Stephen King novel that starts in modern day but travels back to solve Kennedy's assassination, and the last novel is a nonfiction Odyssey of a man that gives up everything to travel to Alaska and live on nothing. All 3 novels draw each of my students into the story and help them to understand the standards of analyzing, discussing, and meeting the 12th-grade reading standards all the while being drawn into books they will connect with and love reading!
