For my first choice, I decided to go with Practical Poetry: A Nonstandard Approach to Meeting Content-Area Standards. I picked this book because, personally, I was never a big fan of poetry. This is because when I was taught this in my younger ages, I did not comprehend the meaning of poetry to begin with. Therefore, I want to challenge and expand my knowledge in a way that will make it easy for my future students to learn. I want students to truly enjoy poetry, and not just be intimidated by it.
My second option, and my personal favorite, was Crafting Digital Writing: Composing Texts Across Media and Genres. Since todays generation is revolved around technology and media, I find that it would be interesting to teach students about how to incorporate this skill along with educational purposes. Learning more about digital writing would help me be better prepared for using technology in my classroom. I feel that it would better engage the students during the learning process.
