As juniors and seniors, most of these students have smartphones which distract them from reading instead of encouraging it. They are kids after all. As a result, getting students to read more is a priority this year, but getting the resources is a problem. We currently do not have enough Into the Wild books for our next unit, and I want my students to experience reading a physical book instead of battling the electronic distractions that occur when they are reading online. In addition, we will be comparing excerpts throughout the book with other pieces of literature that are mentioned in the book to develop common themes and synthesize ideas into essays. Not only will our focus be on reading, but we will also be writing about what we have read.
