#Nightwoods is a great novel about abuse and family dynamics. I would love to use this with The Glass Castle and The Outsiders. The 1st pairs well with the abuse the girl’s experienced while the 2nd would be interesting to compare being raised w/out a parent figure. #ENGL7711

I LOVE the multiple points of view in Alan Gratz’s novel Refugee. The fact that all 3 of these kids experience such similar turmoil is so shocking. All of their stories are extremely powerful, and need to be told. #ENGL7711

Rez Life is such an eye-opening read. We never get to hear the challenges Native Americans go through living on the reservations & its not a popular topic in history classes either. Its important for us to be educated & understand what different people are going though. #ENGL7711

How can something that saved so many lives also hurt others? This is the troubling question in the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. https://t.co/NyQ7qAlkgZ #EthicsvsScience #HeLaCells #ENGL7711

Man, what a ride American Born Chinese was!🎢 A funny comic, crazy plot twists, and challenging of stereotypes mixed into one fun graphic novel. Definitely one to read with my students! #DefyingSociety #DiscussingStereotypes #LessonsLearned #AwesomeRead #ENGL7711

I saw many of my students in Mexican Whiteboy. Many of them fight the feeling of being betrayed/abandoned, and when they don’t know where they fit in, it can feel like they have no one to turn to. It is so important for US to be there for our kids. #WednesdayWisdom #ENGL7711

🖤💜Imagery Comparison💜🖤
Students compared imagery in their own life to imagery in Poe’s story “The Raven” by using feathers.

One of my favorite quotes from The Alchemist is this one. It’s so true that so many times we are afraid to chase our dreams, but it is so important to remember that fear is our worst enemy. #ENGL7711 #GodIsBigger #ChaseYourDreams

[Victoria Hooper @ENGLisLIT]

Talk about heartbreaking, amazing connections!😱😭 Mind-blowing and amazing how Gratz makes these connections between characters in the story as well as connections between what happened in history to today🤯

In Does My Head Look Big in This Amal’s struggle is should she follow her religion or conform to society? Through 😂, 😭, & 😍 moments, Amal finds her voice to stand up for what she knows is right as well as what she believes in. #Strength #GirlPower #ENGL7711

Sold is a devastating account of sex slavery. The main character encounters unthinkable events, but what we don’t realize is that these events happen even in our own home towns. We must stop sex slavery. #EndIt #StopHumanTrafficking #ENGL7711
