Make an imaginary reading list for the English Lit class you are teaching this semester!
- To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: It’s my favorite book ever and I feel like EVERYONE needs to read this! And I mean come on, its a CLASSIC!
- Golden by Jessi Kirby: I wished I had read this when I was in high school. Just to get me thinking about which way I want to take my life. Because trust me, at 18 I was only thinking about what I would do the next day lol
- My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi: This is a MUST for teens. It will get them thinking about staying protected! It shows all the ways the virus HIV can be contacted and that its not to be played with.
- Thousand Words by Jennifer Brown: This is another MUST for teens. In this day and age EVERYTHING is digital and teens treat their phone as if its an extension of their hand. (I’m guilty of it too!) This will serve as a eye opener to the ones that think this kind of behavior is acceptable.
- The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan: You may laugh, but when I read this, I learned all the different gods and goddessess and what they represented and things like that. More so than I learned from The Illiad lol So I would have them read this series first just to get the feel for it and then we could tackle Homer!
Hopping through. I read To Kill a Mockingbird in ninth grade and loved it. A must read.

I want that box in that Percy Jackson series picture. I bet it would make me a half-mortal. I'm a huge fan of Greek mythology and I love the updated twist on the Gods and places. Like how LA is the doorway to the underworld.

I've seen a few people recommend the Percy Jackson series, it's making me want to start the series now!
I love your book choices, I think I'd love to join your class. I've heard great things about Golden and My Life After Now.
I also had To Kill A Mockingbird on my list 🙂
My Friday Hop
AAAH I love Percy Jackson! I actually read To Kill A Mockingbird for an english class. It was hard to understand at first but I love the premise 🙂 Great picks! New follower 😀
You make me want to pick up those books I've never heard of and read them!
I definitely agree that Percy Jackson should be read.. it makes greek mythology a little easier to understand.
Thanks for stopping by!

The first Percy Jackson book came out one year after I stopped teaching high school, and I couldn't believe the bad timing! The series would have been great for my students to read while learning about the Greek gods and goddesses.
