Abstract
Those involved in secondary English and language arts classrooms often wonder how to increase student interest and learning. Some suggest that teaching primarily from more recent texts, such as young adult literature, would increase student engagement. If this were the case, canonical texts would be used less often. This author suggests that canonical texts should be of first importance and that different types and genres of literature should all be used in classrooms instead of being pitted against each other.
