magidIn the lesson on permutations in the algebra book I worked on, there's some creative art showing three different books, titles all readable. I chose books from reading lists for the appropriate grades, but chose ones I love, and think people should read.
Had to put in a Shakespeare play, so put in "Midsummer Night's Dream," which was the first Shakespeare play I saw performed live, which let me find out how it really *is* a comedy (I still find it wonderful to see plays performed, but incredibly difficult to read scripts). The other two are "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden," and "To Kill a Mockingbird." The artist put white roses on the former, and a bird on the latter... neither of which has anything to do with the contents of the book, per se, so it looks kinda odd...
I don't know why this is so much more satisfying than so many other things I've done in this book; perhaps because it feels subversive, encouraging kids to read stuff *I* like, and made me think...
