[ISLMA-Share] Books in HS Classes

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

At Geneva High School we have a math teacher who allows students to read a math-related book from his reading list for extra credit and we have an advanced health class that has students read and present a book from a class reading list.

We don't have any non-English dept. classes doing whole-class one-book projects at this time.  Some of our Anatomy & Physiology (jr.-sr.), Natural Science (soph.), and American History (jr.)  classes are starting six-week lit. circle and independent reading projects soon.  Past student favorites include:

All,



I posted this late last week, but thought that I would repost today. My question is: what books, if any, are being read in your high schools outside of English classes? For instance, The Martian in math or science. If none, please reply the same.



Thanks for your help,
