This week: Top Ten Books That You Wish Were Taught In Schools
I never read much books for English in high school, I hope that's going to change now that I'm going to university to study English:) I like classics, also the ones that are usually taught in schools, but I think some YA books would also be awesome to read in class. They have great ideas and morals to think about and can teach teens a lot.
Dystopians
- The Hunger Games
- Unwind
- Partials
- Delirium
- Uglies
- Divergent
Good dystopians make you think a lot, because the writers used things/problems from our society. This makes it quite realistic and makes you think we should do something about it before it goes too far (like environmental things, war, crazy science etc.) That is why I like dystopians and why they are great to teach in schools!
Fantasy
- Percy Jackson
- Harry Potter
In these books you learn about good vs evil, friendship, love and much more (and they are just awesome).
Contemporary
- Looking for Alaska
Great book about death and learning to deal with the choices you make.
- Perks of being a Wallflower
This book is a realistic projection of an average insecure high school teen and discusses a lot of familiar problems.
