Literature for 16 to 18 year olds?

Dear friends, I have been given the job of teaching literature ( I think they mean reading!) to 16 to 18yr olds, any pointers would be wonderful! (in the past I have taught 6 to 12 yr olds) MANY THANKS |

Hi Hayday,
I have used "Whose face do you see" - a short story by Melvin Burgess and my pupils read it so quickly that I couldn�t believe. Our pupils in general hate reading but after arousing their curiosity with the prereading activities suggested in the link below, you �ll see what happens. I also used other activities for "while-reading" and after-reading, that you also can find in the link below.

Good luck!

Hi Isabel...
I was curious about that story and I have just finished reading it... I tell you I dropped one or two tears... It �s a beautiful short story... Now I know why your students read it so quickly... it is worth trying it... I will use it with my students, that �s for sure...
Thank you for sharing it...
