Friendly Summer Reading Reminders

Rising sophomores: Please have The Stranger by Albert Camus and The Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller read by the first day of school. I'm not above hitting you with a test on Day One.

Rising seniors, Gifted-style: You have a recommended reading list. If you'd like to work ahead, though, I will be distributing copies of Frankenstein on Day One for your first outside reading.

Rising seniors, APee-style: Hopefully you have already re-read Gatsby and read How to Read Literature Like a Professor. Heart of Darkness can be a pip, but you will be profoundly grateful to have read it. Go carefully through that packet before Day One. We have a long, tumultuous journey ahead of us. . .
