Talking in class about using young adult literature in a classroom was really interesting, but also nerve wracking at the same time. I have all these great ideas for books to use, but have no clue how to enact it in a class. I feel like students would love the books, but parents and administration might find them to non-traditional. I'm concerned that I might not know how to give a good enough rationale to back up my decisions. I am also concerned that my choices might be too biased. I want all of my students to enjoy what we do in class and be able to relate to the books that we use. I'm concerned that I will have a hard time finding good/appropriate young adult literature. So much to think about...
