Subject: [CASL-L] American Lit (Modern suggestions) through the lens of Psychology

 

Hello,

 

I was wondering if you could help...???  I have a teacher that is requesting books and/or poetry suggestions (any and all - modern as well) that will help support a grade 11 American Lit class "through the lens of Psychology".  Some examples she gave that she might use is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and poems from Edgar Allen Poe.  She was hoping to find out what other teachers might use if they have a similar class or what other Librarians might suggest. 

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

 

Respectfully,
