What should high school students read? And what should high school teachers teach?
The struggle in high school classrooms is vast. Teachers face the challenges of offering students a rigorous curriculum that will prepare them for college and life and developing basic literacy skills by engaging them with material they can handle. However, it doesn't have to be an either or decision.
Two great instructional texts for teachers to craft their English classroom model are Carol Jago's Classics in the Classroom and Denver-area teacher Cris Tovani's I Read It But I Don't Get It. Both women are renowned English teachers who have decades of experience promoting literacy and refining the best practices for the English classroom.
