Taming of the Shrew (Updated) | William Shakespeare

I‘m considering teaching a comedy to my AP literature class. They just finished Othello, and they loved it. Thoughts? #aplit #apliterature #apteacher #teachersoflitsy #shakespeare #williamshakespeare

Bookworm83 I read this with my advanced 7th graders and it is so much fun. 7y

The Catcher in the Rye | J. D. Salinger

For Teacher's: have any of you taught The Catcher in the Rye? I have a group of seniors begging me to teach it. I've read it, of course, but have never taught it. I worry about the language. Any advice? #teachersoflitsy #aplit

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer | Mark Twain

It's been a long time since I've read Tom. I may teach Huck Finn this year, so I wanted to review his world. #riotgrams #teachersoflitsy #aplit

Poisonwood Bible | Barbara Kingsolver

After a lot of thought and advice, this is what I finally decided for my summer reading. Since this is our first year implementing it, we are only requiring one book, next year we will require two. #teachersoflitsy #aplit

Megabooks I feel if you are not in a diverse area, The Namesake might be a good choice. 8y

Nat_Reads I love that they have a choice! 8y

APLitlife @Booksandcooks We are in one of the most diverse areas in the United States. In fact, our area does not have an ethic majority. That is partly why I chose The Namesake. So that they can understand the generations here that have parents that have immigrated, or that have immigrated here themselves. 8y

APLitlife @Nat_Reads I really wanted to give them enough choices that each one would find something of interest. Hope I did. Guess I will find out in August. 😊 8y

Megabooks @APLitlife That's another great reason to read the book. Obviously, I was being a little myopic. I hope you have a lot of great discussions! 8y

APLitlife @Booksandcooks Where I am at has really exploded in the last 10 years and so there are still tensions between the "longtimers" and the "newcomers". I secretly hope a lot choose this one to read for that one fact. I have wanted to use it as required reading, but too many sexual references for a private school required reading. 8y
