Hi, I am posting this for a fellow teacher in my buildling who is
working on a grad project. Thanks, Sara
Greetings from Central Wisconsin. I'm in a grad class and a project I'm
working on is creating a list of important literary texts students
should read in high school and why. (I have to include my general
critical philosophy as well.) These are texts that they should read and
understand in order to become "well-educated citizens."
I'd appreciate some input from you (if you have the time).
I've compiled this list so far as a base. I'm especially interested in
the why they should be read and how they help students to become
"well-educated citizens."
Please feel free to voice your thoughts on these or add to the list.
Thanks!
