The final novel I would like to teach in my tenth-grade English class is Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. This book is not only a great example of what Capote called the nonfiction novel, but it will serve as a bridge to the academic work they will be doing in the eleventh grade when they take AP English Language and Composition, which is based on nonfiction texts. I would also like to introduce them to a text that deals with complex issues such as crime and the death penalty. Last year when my school’s principal asked me to choose one book to add to the library, I choose In Cold Blood. However, my school was only able to order 60 copies of the book, which is not enough for the nearly 100 sophomores I currently teach.
