Book List for 2008-09 (Subject to Change)

These books that are tentatively scheduled for the school year 2008-2009 A.P. English Language and Composition course.  I recommend that students buy their own copies, if possible.  This will enable the student to annotate the novels - an important element of studying and close reading for language and usage.

Go to the 2008 Summer Assignment link under Resources for the full list and information about the summer reading assignment.
