contents This study presents LIT-GRAPH (Literature Graph for Recommendation and Pedagogical Heuristics), a novel knowledge graph-based recommendation system designed to scaffold high school English teachers in selecting diverse, pedagogically aligned instructional literature. The system is built upon an ontology for English literature, addressing the challenge of curriculum stagnation, where we compare four graph embedding paradigms: DeepWalk, Biased Random Walk (BRW), Hybrid (concatenated DeepWalk and BRW vectors), and the deep model Relational Graph Convolutional Network (R-GCN). Results reveal a critical divergence: while shallow models excelled in structural link prediction, R-GCN dominated semantic ranking. By leveraging relation-specific message passing, the deep model prioritizes pedagogical relevance over raw connectivity, resulting in superior, high-quality, domain-specific recommendations.
