For my blog I am going to be talking about books that I am currently reading that I think would be useful to use for educational purposes. I want to become an english teacher, so this blog will serve as a basis for books that I may want to use in the future. I plan on summarizing the book, giving a background on the author and talking a deeper dive into what I think the book is trying to portray.

Over the next few weeks I am going to talk about a variety of books that are all different from each other and normal books that are read in school. Topics will include, but are not limited to, war, autism, racism, refugee/immigration and anything else I find a long the way. I want to be able to have a variety of books at my disposal that are a bit more enjoyable than what I had to “read” in highschool. Most kids in my class would never read the books because some of them were not too interesting or the teacher just made it unenjoyable to read. I want to try and change that and make students to want to read the book and actually learn instead of just using sparknotes or some summary website.
