@tcboyle A colleague & I created a HS unit that paired The Tortilla Curtain with Of Mice & Men. The kids were able to pull out so many parallel themes & issues from TTC. It created a space for some of the richest dialogue I've experienced with HS students.
Unpopular opinion: I don't think high schoolers should be forced to read classic literature. I know, I wasn't ready until much later.
Rather, I'd like to see them read contemporary fiction that meets them where they are and turns them into lifelong readers.
That's our future.
@TdCass0856@ThatEricAlper First album I ever bought with my own money working a summer job @ 14 yrs old. Fool in the Rain is still one of my all time favorite songs.
