Every year our sophomores read "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. I inherited this text when I began working at the school. I love teaching the book as it offers challenging perspectives on many fronts. In my 5 years on the campus, we've never had a classroom set of books. Our students are lucky to have individual access to computers, and we have always read the book online. This is challenging, bad for the eyes, and ethically uncomfortable. Complete access to hard copies of "Ishmael" will allow my students and I the ability to "unplug" while using a easily manageable resource--the books aren't subject to glitches. Further, we have been collecting titles recommended by the author as a way for students to pursue a continued interest in related topics. Although "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari is not specifically recommended by Daniel Quinn, it offers concise counter points to the ideas presented in "Ishmael." I would like to see both of these text become prominent and continued features of our sophomores Humanities curriculum.
