One of my "regular" English teachers has a requirement that students read=
one book each semester by a non US author. I am trying to work with her t=
o
convice her that my collection doesn't currently support this idea. Most =
of
the non US authors I have are British and most are considered "classics"
which don't interest her students, plus those titles are going out to the=
Honors English students who are required to read them. As a further
problem, my books are not searchable by nationality of the authors. The
main authors I am able to give them are Agatha Christic and the author of=
the series "Angus Thongs". I have authors Hispanic American/ Chinese
American/ African American etc but she wants non US.
I am going to work on this, meanwhile does anyone have a list of authors
who are some that a typical high school might have in the "general" readi=
ng
collection. Then I could see which of those I have and make a list to hel=
p
he situation. I could also perhaps pick up some of these authors.
I will post a hit.
