What was your favorite book that you read for a school class? For me, it was The Giver.
Though it was really sad, the book Night by Eli Weisel, I read it in 10th grade.
I need to read that book. I had a problem in high school where I would just go through the CliffsNotes of most assigned books (save a few).
Either Wuthering Heights or The Crucible
The Great Gatsby!
The Giver
I’d also add The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian… but that’s kind of cheating, since I had read it before and chose it for the assignment to coast through it.
Flowers for Algernon, to kill a mockingbird, crime and punishment, lord of the flies, metamorphosis! surprisingly pretty much all the books that we read were pretty awesome
Mid summer night’s dream
Still my favorite Shakespeare play!
We did Romeo and Juliet, midsummer night’s dream, much ado about nothing and macbeth. I loved them all. Never been able to ‘get into’ any of his other plays tho. Maybe because the pleasure comes when you fully understand them which kinda only comes with studying them
In school we did Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear.
I despise Romeo & Juliet with a passion and I spent most of King Lear hoping said character would just have an unfortunate accident and the play would be over.
I’ve read a few others on my own and my favorite of those is Henry V, but I’m a history nerd so that shouldn’t be surprising. I didn’t care for The Winter’s Tale and I gave up half way through Much Ado About Nothing.
Number the Stars in 2nd grade
A play: Hamlet
A novel: Jane Eyre
Lord of the Flies and The Time Machine, both really great books.
The outsiders best 9th grade English read ever.
The outsiders, Emily Dickinson poems, the cremation of Sam McGee, island of the blue dolphins
The Outsiders
The Outsiders, Night, and The Great Gatsby.
Few people know that SE Hinton was a young woman when she that classic. YA literati has so much to offer.
great series, stupid movie!
To kill a mockingbird.
Pigman
The Wanderer, Sharon Creech
The Giver was mine too, it’s what started my love for reading. ?
The beginnings of the quartet.
Born a crime
To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies and most fave The Crucible, hence my planned trip to Salem later this year.
I visited Salem for a field trip. Great place.
Come to think of it, I bought a book about Wicca there that I never read. I should get around to that.
@Tom Awesome, wow, me and a book shop in Salem!!! I may never make it back!
Of Mice and Men
I am to old to remember what I read in school. But I do remember liking the poems of Robert Frost when we studied them in English class.
Of Mice and Men and You don’t know me.
The Outsiders
I love Shakespeare. I also liked the jungle
A Separate Peace and (the perennial favorite of angsty teens everywhere) The Catcher in the Rye. Also, the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Flannery O’Connor.
Hamlet
Barometers Rising
Siddhartha by Herman Hess and The Crucible by Arthur Miller
For English: Wuthering Heights & The Color Purple.
For Dutch: Dubbelspel.
For Spanish: Cien años de Soledad.
Wuthering Heights
Touching spirit bear
The Crucible and To Kill a Mockingbird
Of Mice and Men & To Kill a Mockingbird
Dracula
The Outsiders
George Orwell 1984
The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne
Enders Game
I read that in high school, but not for class. Great book… even if the author’s an ass.
All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque
To Kill A Mockingbird
Same‼️ The Giver has always held a special place in my ❤️.
That’s tough to answer, I dreaded “Hamlet,”& fell asleep while trying to read it because I had no idea what was going on, but it has since become a deep favorite and I’ve taught it many times in my own Shakespeare classes????♂️?
A Tale of Two Cities
Jennifer Government
To Kill A Mocking Bird
Shane
Alive. About the Venezuelan soccer team trapped on a mountain after a plane crash trying to survive.
The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger and Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. Maybe The Great Gatsby too by Fitzgerald
Lord of the Flies
