CAMPION ENGLISH TEACHERS | FAVOURITE BOOKS |
Ms. Dobson-Efpatridis | Three Day Road: This is a graphic tale detailing the horrific experiences and the invaluable contribution that Native Canadians made to the war effort in WWI, on the killing fields of Ypres and Somme, and the detrimental effects on the lives of the innocent soldiers that gave their lives to the cause. |
Mr. Ruscica | Northrop Frye: The Educated Imagination: Need I say more? |
Ms. Hoekstra | Catcher in the Rye : I love Holden Caulfield's narration in this classic coming-of-age tale. |
Mrs. Bridgman | To Kill a Mockingbird: Every time I read this novel it reminds me that I have to do whatever I can to stand up against injustice. Even if my actions only create a small change it is better than standing by and allowing inequality to prevail. This novel also reminds me that humanity has a dark history. However, if everyone works together then there is hope that we can make our world a better place. |

Ms. Depikolozvane | My absolute favorite novel in the whole wide world is Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I fell in love with this book in grade 11. My favourite things about the novel are the themes of loyalty, perseverance, and knowing that someone is always watching out for you and wanting you to succeed even if you may not know it. As well, it taught me that no matter what kind of a mistake you may make, it can ALWAYS be fixed. I just absolutely love it!! |
Ms. Ciufo | My favourite book is Not Wanted on the Voyageby Timothy Findley. This novel is narrated mainly by a one-eyed cat - a very interesting choice! It is a touching, tragic novel that uses language beautifully to express emotion. |
Ms. Kalymon | My favourite book is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom because of the touching story between man and his mentor and the lessons he offers even in his dying days. It reminds me of the affection and graditiude that many of us still feel for the significant mentors of our past. |
Mr. Zygadlo | The Beach: The Beach is an amazing journey for those students who are seeking a life changing adventure when you leave school. This story is for anyone who wants to travel and see the world. A must read! |
Ms. Cole | Childhood Favourite: Anne of Green Gables - a classic. As a teen I loved A Clockwork Orange (Anthony Burgess) and To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee). Now – I love Tiff (Timothy Findley - Not Wanted on the Voyage) and I also really enjoy Khaleed Hosseni's Kite Runner. It changes all the time but these are the ones that stick out in my mind! |
