Re: Novels that STUDENTS love?
Posted by Ennen on 3/20/08

    Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck

    Night by Wiesel (not a novel, though)

    The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald (my female students generally
    love it, not such a big hit with my male students).

    The Things They Carried by O'Brien (I don't get to teach
    this, it is taught at the 9th grade, but the students still
    remember it when they get to me at 11th or 12th grade).

    Tears of a Tiger by Draper (again, this is taught at the 9th
    grade, but it is a big hit with students ... I think it is a
    triology).
