I believe we are reading the books because this is a class on literacy. Reading novels is a good way of incorporating reading into the curriculum and the choice gives students the opportunity to be interested in the topic. Obviously we will all be interested in books about teaching because we will all be teachers and we want as much knowledge of how it actually is to be up in front of a classroom by yourself for the first time.
We are given this example of literacy as well as others to promote the teaching of literacy in all subject areas. Literacy is one of the bench marks for teaching and learning, so it makes sense that since we play both roles, we should become as familiar with incorporating it into our lessons as possible.

I agree in the sense that we are reading these books because it is a literacy class. And while i am not require reading in my classes because i am studying P.E. it may be incorporated in my health classes. Obviously students will have to know how to read and be able to understand what they are reading. So i guess i understand WHY we are reading these books even though i really dont want to.. :)
