Junior Literature
SAMPLE
In Class Reading
Reading that the entire class or groups in the class do. We will discuss readings and do papers and projects on them. The books/plays/short stories for this year are:
The Crucible Arthur Miller
The Scarlet Letter Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Night Thoreau Spent in Prison Lawrence and Lee
A Midsummer Night's Dream William Shapespeare
The Joy Luck Club Amy Tan
You will be asked to file an AP book report on each of these selections in your writing folder. We will also study selections from the American literature book.
Outside Reading
In addition to the class reading, each of you will read and report on at least 300 pages of reading for each grading period which you do on your own. You may read any book that is on your level. You need to commit to these books at the beginning of each grading period. Have your books in class each day in case you have time or read, or I have time to hear a report. You will have two minutes to prove to me that you read the book.
