Night

A man's search for meaning

Born a Crime

All But My Life

Generally, in memoirs, the text is presented without many additions. There aren't subheadings, illustrations, or other things, but I think this also depends on who is writing it and the story they want to tell.

Each of these texts are high school level and can typically be found in a high school ELA class. Night is definitely for 9th graders, but the others may vary.

Unwinded by Neal Shusterman is the first book to come to mind. I read this book in Highschool in a English class. It involves themes of science, murder, human morals and societal norms. Great book for discussion and reflections.

Diary of a Young

Malcom X

Huckleberry Finn

Features of text: factual but narrative

These can be encountered at all grade levels as many children's books are written as biographies of important historical characters. I think at higher grades it can be much more interesting as studetns can learn much more in depth of a person they admire. Excerpts can also be used in history class.

Charlotte’s Web

Boy in the Stripped Pajamas

Last Stop on Market Street

These are all fourth grade level books that are very different stories but all share a different walk of life. This would be good for comparing and contrasting character, experiences, and also relating to different students.

The first book series I think of when I think of the Fantasy genre is Harry Potter. I read all the books from 7th-8th grade, as long as most of my classmates. Middle school is where I see most of these books being read by students because this is when I think students can begin to understand the world-building involved in the genre.
