ELA Reading Update
English 7 Required Reading List
What You Need to Know
The AJHS English Department strives to provide its students with valuable learning experiences through the selection of challenging reading material. Much consideration goes into the selection of books that will allow students the opportunity to grow as thinkers and communicators. At the end of this grading period, we have re-evaluated our reading selections for second semester, and after much deliberation, we have determined to change the required reading for English 7. Due to time restraints among other considerations, we feel this change is necessary. Please refer to the information provided below.
THE DEVIL'S ARITHMETIC (3rd nine weeks)
(English 7) Classroom copies of The Devil's Arithmetic will be provided by the school. Note: English 7 students who have already purchased the original title The Book Thief may sell their copies to the library at the Amazon Prime cost of $8.
THE BOOK THIEF (3rd nine weeks)
(Advanced English 7) Students may purchase this title independently, or they may purchase through Mrs. Smith's class. The cost of the book is $8. Orders must be placed by Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Please e-mail Mrs. Smith at lcsmith@arabcityschools, if you wish to order. Minimal copies are available for check-out.
THE WATSONS GO TO BIRMINGHAM (4th nine weeks)
(Advanced English 7 & English 7) - Multiple copies available to checkout from teachers. Students may purchase this title independently, or they may purchase through Mrs. Smith's class. (More information to come.)
