These books allow my students access to a diverse group of authors writing in different styles, from different perspectives and making different interpretations of their world. By facilitating the presence of these books in the classroom you assist me in building reading independence and appreciation in our classroom and give students access to books they can grapple with in student-led book-talks for 11th grade. The diversity in writing styles and perspectives is an important element of development in student agency and capacity in making judgements about an authors approach and understanding of a situation vs. their own; lending students an opportunity to determine how engaging new and different ideas shapes their perspective; and experiencing first hand how literature influences us and mimics other forms of cultural osmosis.
