Mr. Herrington’s Classroom Edit display name

8th-grade students are pressed to reflect on their own beliefs, recognizing their influences and biases. Compounding that, in a classroom of persons with different backgrounds, different learning schemas, and different interests, this is a pivotal time to allow students to access multiple points of view to better help them create their own identity. One does not simply read for the chore of it. Now more than ever kids have competing agendas in a marketplace of entertainment, e.g. television and gaming, so placing high-interest novels in their hands and showing them the value in written language can transform how they view their reality, their academia, and themselves. Throughout the school year, students will interact with novels as a whole group, in literature circles, and as individuals. It is equally as important that they engage in the reading material as it is that they have access to more texts.
