What types of literature do you use currently in your English classes?  You teach in an stp resource class yes?  Also, of the literature works that you use in your class, which ones do students find most meaningful and engaging in?  For our 9th grade curriculum, our English teachers use Romeo and Juliet, House on Mango Street.  These works display very unique gender roles and heroic stories of females.  It's interesting that in ancient Japan and China, women had prominent roles in writing poetry and other literary works.
