If the former, Cambridge university press published a book called "literature and language teaching" ( http://us.cambridge.org/titles/catalogue.asp?isbn=052140651X ). The book gives several examples and methods as to how to exploit a literary text for grammar, vocabulary, writing etc. The examples are based on "Lord of the Flies" so it may be a good idea to have them read the novel while applying the ideas in the CUP book. If the latter, "The Scarlet Letter", "The adventures of Hucklebery Finn", and "The red badge of courage" make good readings in class, provided that you discuss things like "society vs. individual" etc. But to me, it is more like an American literature class. I strongly recommend the CUP book, however. I know it works, that's how I was taught to use the literary texts (Though it was an undergrad course). All the best Meral Quoting "Tommy B.
