Hi! I am a highschool senior who has a somewhat unconventional request. I would like to give all of my teachers parting gifts at the end of the school year including a book. So if anyone has any ideas based on the criteria I’ve outlined below, please share!
Teacher 1: Math teacher, so I wanted to do a book of hard math problems up to Calc 3. He particularly likes difficult integrals.
Teacher 2: AP Literature teacher; this is a hard one! I think she likes classics, and she also taught me American Literature last year. Books we’ve read this year: Frankenstein, Kafka’s Metamorphosis, and Hamlet
Teacher 3: AP Latin and Greek. We’ve read the Iliad and the Aeneid, so I thought about getting a book related to either of those. She also likes Ancient poets, particularly Sappho.
Teacher 4: AP Environmental Science. I don’t know her too well, but she’s nice and cares a lot about her subject. She also has traveled a lot and particularly focuses on Environmental Health.
Teacher 5: Dystopian Fiction. He is part of my book club and has read the Southern Reach trilogy, and Julia, the new remake of 1984 from Julia’s perspective. Enjoys coffee and deep thoughts.
