ew class theme for my imaginary children's/YA lit class. it's an obvious one but I think I could make it work.and that theme? Friendship.
Books to be read include:
A Little Friendly Advice by Siobhan Vivian
How to Say Goodbye in Robot by Natalie Standiford
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
Film:
The Goonies
Possibles include:
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan
Considerations:
add in at least one animal-as-friend text (ie, Shiloh, except not Shiloh because it depresses me)
at least one adult-as-friend
add at least one broken-friendship-that-isn't-repaired story

Fun.
I really like the idea of at least one adult friendship and at least one broken, non-repaired, friendship.
I feel like often adults are missing or untrustworthy in youth fiction.
For adult-as-friend, what about JACOB HAVE I LOVED by Katherine Patterson? It's a wonderful and complicated relationship.
