The first book listed for each grade is the main textbook that we will use all year. Students need to have their textbooks by the first week of school. Less expensive options for textbooks include renting or buying used copies from Amazon.com. If purchasing a used textbook, please be sure it’s the correct edition.

The other texts listed are novels that we will read for different units throughout the year. The instructor will let students know in advance the dates by which they need to have each novel.

The instructor will provide copies of any additional materials to be covered in class. Students are responsible for purchasing print copies (no e-books).
