teacher_cav Mar 13 @ 9:43 PM EDT

#gfedchat A2: to kill a mockingbird. it is deep concepts explored through the mind of a child, giving us a child's perspective.

JenNeil12 Mar 13 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Out of My Mind is a favorite, too. I'll have to dig into the others #gfedchat

In reply to @JessieRErickson

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A2: Little Women is probably my favorite. I have been trying to reread some classics to see if I enjoy them more as an adult. #gfedchat

khanson54 Mar 13 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A2; Old Man and the Sea or anything by Hemingway #gfedchat

mgaukler Mar 13 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A2 #gfedchat "To Kill a Mockingbird" I could read that book a million times and never grow tired of Jem, Boo, Scout, Atticus or Tom

BergerElizabeth Mar 13 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A2: To Kill a Mockingbird. I always connect most easily to books based on a time & place in history. #gfedchat

buchhop25 Mar 13 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A2: Shakespeare thanks to Prof. Lell at Concordia. He made it readable and enjoyable. #gfedchat

JeremyCebula Mar 13 @ 9:45 PM EDT

tarason67 Mar 13 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A2 Lord of the Flies, Little Women #gfedchat

MrsH_511 Mar 13 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A2-I didn't appreciate classical lit. as a teen. Faked my way through many reading assignments in high school (not proud of that) #gfedchat

torgerson_matt Mar 13 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A2: To Kill A Mockingbird; 90% of the book sets the scene of the actual conflict. What an amazing thought process! #gfedchat

JenNeil12 Mar 13 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A2: I'm jumping on the wagon for Lord of the Flies & To Kill a Mockingbird #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Q3 #gfedchat

sindylarson Mar 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2: Great Expectations. I still have the VHS of my final project. I liked the mysterious element. #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

I wonder how many Ss feel the same way? I am rereading classics to see if I enjoy them more as an adult. #gfedchat

MrsH_511 Mar 13 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A2-I didn't appreciate classical lit. as a teen. Faked my way through many reading assignments in high school (not proud of that) #gfedchat

gduce12 Mar 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

#gfedchat A2 not sure if it counts but Where the Red Fern Grows

molson21212 Mar 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2: Boxcar Children, so many lessons learned & you could visualize every book. Huckleberry Finn, The Scarlet Letter, so many more #gfedchat

susankorynta1 Mar 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A3 #gfedchat No. One was asking about classics and one was about current books.

teacher_cav Mar 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

#gfedchat A3: no, but there are just so many good novels that it's hard to choose just one!

BuchhopTeach Mar 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A3: No - because I have to many favorites to list.. and there are some differences between traditional and more contemporary lit #gfedchat

jlspicer10 Mar 13 @ 9:49 PM EDT

#gfedchat A3- No. My favorite is much more current

buchhop25 Mar 13 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A3: No, I have to say I don't tend to choose to read classic literature. It has always been assigned for a class #gfedchat

MsHTrailblazers Mar 13 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2: The Great Gatsby was my fav in High School. Also Redeeming Love would count as a classic #gfedchat

Johnson5Century Mar 13 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A3 - They were different. Classic literature means "old" doesn't it? Ha!! Or am I totally off on this one? #gfedchat

MrsH_511 Mar 13 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A3-Not at all the same. I love reading now that I can pick what I want to read and it is not assigned to me! #gfedchat

MsBlakeman Mar 13 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A3: Nope. Because of my experiences I see classical lit as "boring" I was always forced to read it, not for enjoyment #gfedchat

BergerElizabeth Mar 13 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A3-No, they are different. #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A3a: No, they are different titles. I can think of a couple of reasons: The classics were assigned and I took tests about them. #gfedchat

MrsHeydt Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A3: Not the same. Classical lit = 'old' to me, as well! ;) #gfedchat

tarason67 Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A3 No, Classical Literature is not my favorite type of read. #gfedchat

JenNeil12 Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A3: I would like to revisit some of the classics to see how I enjoy them as an adult #gfedchat

KatieHillestad Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: The Scarlet Letter-it's been so long I can't remember exactly why but it was one of my faves that I was assigned to read #gfedchat

SporbertJessica Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A3: No I felt kind of "forced" to read classics back in high school and now enjoy different books that I choose and want to read #gfedchat

whitneyjo07 Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A3: no. I like way too many of genres of book for them to be the same. #gfedchat

nikerunnerblue Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A3:Nope: Dickens "A Christmas Carol" seems more for the younger kids, "Watership Down" for high schoolers, holds deeper meaning.#gfedchat

joelschleicher - Moderator Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A3. Literature I enjoy(ed) the most has a “time & place” (i.e. historical fiction) Probably why I pursued a social studies major. #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Question 1 was "What is your favorite young adult or adult novel" - classic or contemporary doesn't matter... #gfedchat

In reply to @susankorynta1

AmyRogers27 Mar 13 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A3: I'm not much for classics. I enjoy reading what the kids read. Great convo pieces #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A3b: Another reason, is that they were written in a difficult dialect for enjoyment, and were not "relatable" for me as a teen. #gfedchat

Carlson2ndGrade Mar 13 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A3: No - I don't typically read classics. #gfedchat

gduce12 Mar 13 @ 9:51 PM EDT

#gfedchat A3. No. Don't read as much as I should. ESPN gets in my way

MrsHeydt Mar 13 @ 9:51 PM EDT

I remember this was one of the HARDEST books for me to read in HS! I read it with a dictionary nearby! 😂 #gfedchat

In reply to @KatieHillestad

amykuznia Mar 13 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Q3: I admit - I didn't enjoy reading the 'classic' literature when I was yonger, and still don't choose to read it...😳 (again) #gfedchat

SkoolCNSLR_Mc Mar 13 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A3: I was much more likely to remember and enjoy literature which was read to me, then what I read. #gfedchat

mgaukler Mar 13 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Q3 #gfedchat No, I had different answers-great q! What makes a classic v fav YA novel? Is it my frame of mind?

MsHTrailblazers Mar 13 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A3: One of them was. #gfedchat

sgalegher120 Mar 13 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A3: Definitely have changed, life experience definitely plays a roll & also exploration of different types of books. #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Q4 #gfedchat

joeprusak3 Mar 13 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A3: No. Mostly because of adult content that might not be appropriate for younger kids #GFEDChat

torgerson_matt Mar 13 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A4: Absolutely! #gfedchat

sgalegher120 Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4: Yes to a certain extent, Ss need to be challenged to read other forms of lit too #gfedchat

Johnson5Century Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4- Absolutely!! But, I think using a variety of genres and literature is the best way to go!! #gfedchat

teacher_cav Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

#gfedchat A4: i think it depends on the book and the curriculum that connects literacy skills with the context of the book

BuchhopTeach Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4: Definitely a possibility! I know often in book clubs even in 4th I give choices between older and more current books #gfedchat

AmyRogers27 Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4: Yes, more relatable perhaps? #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Interesting thoughts tonight! A classic could be our favorite YA or adult novel. Did the "assigning" rob it of being a fav? #gfedchat

HuntingBare Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

#gfedchat A4: I guess I can't say for sure

buchhop25 Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4: Absolutely! I think Ss comprehend, learn, and apply skills better when they enjoy what they are reading #gfedchat

BergerElizabeth Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4-In my opinion they can.#gfedchat

MsHTrailblazers Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4: Not sure what the credentials are so not sure I could fully answer that. #gfedchat

MrsHeydt Mar 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4: IMO, yes!!!! #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4: Yes, contemporary literature can be a great option Ss and Ts . Ss can gain necessary skills while reading a relatable text. #gfedchat

susankorynta1 Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4 #gfedchat yes

MsBlakeman Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4: Yes. I think it would capture the attention of Ss more than older classics. The language may be more common for Ss #gfedchat

Carlson2ndGrade Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4: Sure! Students may be more engaged. #gfedchat

JeremyCebula Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4: Of course. Each Ss is ready for a different complexity level, topic. etc. Nothing wrong with challenging yourself or your Ss #gfedchat

SporbertJessica Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4: Yes. I think that students may be more invested in wanting to the learn the skills if they are engaged #gfedchat

MrsH_511 Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4-Yes, but I realize funding could be an issue if the books were regularly changing. #gfedchat

amandasev1 Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4 I think so #gfedchat

tarason67 Mar 13 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A4 Yes, I think everything has a place and it is more relevant to today's kids. #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

#gfedchat

jlspicer10 Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

#gfedchat A4- Absolutely. Giving choice helps!

amykuznia Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A4: If they are interested in it, they will be invested in reading and comprehending it.... so, yes. #gfedchat

SkoolCNSLR_Mc Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A4: As with any teaching, you can use modern day readings to help show ideas an: means. Help connect Ss, with modern readings #gfedchat

gduce12 Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

#gfedchat A4 I will read responses without giving an answer to this one!!

whitneyjo07 Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A4: could be a possibility! #gfedchat

sindylarson Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A4: Oui. #gfedchat

MrsChandlerSMS Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A4:Yes-important to get Ss to step out of their comfort zone. History, language usage &other literary topics shown in the classics #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 9:58 PM EDT

That's an Innovator's Mindset - Choice!!! #gfedchat

jlspicer10 Mar 13 @ 9:57 PM EDT

#gfedchat A4- Absolutely. Giving choice helps!

kcebula Mar 13 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A2: Don't know A3: No, LOVE reading but don't really remember the classics, early onset alzheimers, #gfedchat

JenNeil12 Mar 13 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A4: I think variety is great #gfedchat

JessieRErickson Mar 13 @ 10:00 PM EDT

Q5 #gfedchat

nikerunnerblue Mar 13 @ 10:00 PM EDT

A4 Some stories are timeless, some are a product of their times.if it's good and engaging it will be good and engaging for years...#gfedchat

kcebula Mar 13 @ 10:00 PM EDT

A4: Yes, could mix it up with both, a place for each #gfedchat

HuntingBare Mar 13 @ 10:01 PM EDT

#gfedchat A5: to allow for comparison

MrsHeydt Mar 13 @ 10:01 PM EDT

A5: I think one of the articles mentioned it gives Ss opportunities to study language structures/vocab/etc different than our own! #gfedchat

buchhop25 Mar 13 @ 10:01 PM EDT

A5: Exposes Ss to a variety of writing styles and sometimes language that is not used anymore. #gfedchat

joeprusak3 Mar 13 @ 10:01 PM EDT

A5: Classic Lit can help bring history to life, give it context, help Ss understand where they came from #GFEDChat

teacher_cav Mar 13 @ 10:01 PM EDT

#gfedchat A5: vocabulary, history, language structure, etc

MrsFreund1 Mar 13 @ 10:01 PM EDT

A5: Young readers dont see them in isolation but how they r used in context & how a writer incorporates & makes meaning of story #gfedchat
