My Project

Our STEAM classes are English elective courses students can take for fun. I am teaching two courses for grades 9-12: Dystopian Literature and Autobiography Reading and Writing.

My hope is to give students the opportunity to choose a piece of literature that interests them.

Students will read their chosen books in a book club format. Based on previous student responses, they have thoroughly enjoyed being able to choose a book, read it and discuss it with friends.

My students are mostly struggling readers who truly benefit from being allowed to choose their assigned reading.
