Books you would put on the curriculum

What are some books that you would put on the curriculum? Why?

When I was in school, I was always allowed to pick what I read by my teachers. I don’t remember ever being forced to read something in school. I do believe there are things you can learn from reading, even if you are reading fiction of some sort. There’s a couple of books I would like to see in the curriculum. Probably wouldn’t happen but one can always wish and hope….

This book can show you the power of perseverance during a tragic moment in history (for a students that may be a little older).

This shows you the story of a boy and what he has to face against an evil villain. Yes, I know it’s a work of fiction. But it’s still a coming of age story (for children).

  1. In school I remember being require to read certain books which I’m now grateful for because I was exposed to material I probably wouldn’t have picked up on my own. Some of those I still consider my favorites e.g. “Hatchet” by Gary Paulsen, “1984” by George Orwell, “Night by Elie Wiesel. If I could choose books to be included in the curriculum I suggest “The Alchemist” by Paolo Coelho and “The Hobbit” by J.R.R Tolkien.

    1. Thank you for sharing your choices. I’ve read the Hobbit although it’s been a while. The other book might be something I’ll have to go check out.
