Required Texts
|
THE GREAT GATSBY, by F. Scott Fitzgerald - MUST HAVE BY THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND AND FOURTH QUARTER - ALL CLASSES
KINDRED, by Octavia Butler - MUST HAVE BY FIRST AND THIRD QUARTER (THIS IS ONLY FOR THE HONOR'S CLASS AT THIS POINT) Literature: Most of our texts will be found in Google classroom. There will be occasions when you will need to print copies of short texts. I will let you know in advance. We will also work with novels, and students will need to have the current novel with them in class every day. This will be especially true for the Shakespeare units. Novels Students will read several novels and plays over the course of the semester. Some of these will be provided by the school. Others may require purchase. Unless otherwise indicated, the books will be available at Barnes and Noble at the Arboretum. (*see below for more information - click here for map) My recommendation is that students always purchase the novels we will read. For one, students are able to freely annotate the texts. Another benefit is to add the text to their personal libraries. If cost is a factor, students should speak with me privately about alternative arrangements. |
