For seven years now, I have taught a developmental freshman english class, an honor's sophomore class, and an english lit class. I have had fairly good luck with them so far, but I would like to try some new things, and maybe see how I can improve the required reading for my students. I have supplied my current english curriculum [barring grammar], and would appreciate feedback on what to do less of, and more of. Thank you very much in advance.
For the developmental Freshmen:
-The short stories of Poe
-Oedipus Rex (Translation by Rex Warner)
-Of Mice and Men
-Romeo and Juliet
-Adventures of Huck Finn
For the Honors Sophomores:
-Madame Bovary
-A Tale of Two Cities
-Anthem
-Coriolanus
-Julius Caesar
-Count of Monte Cristo
-All Quiet on the Western Front
And for English Lit:
-The Cantebury Tales
-Hamlet
-Paradise Lost
-Gulliver's Travels
-Pride and Prejudice
-Great Expectations
-Pygmalion
-Heart of Darkness
I've taught these classes for 7 years now, and I've done considerably well with them, but I'm thinking about trying new things next year, so I would really appreciate your help.
