hit: english curriculum

["Pfeffer, Francine" <pfefferf@MAIL.MCVTS.NET>]

A while ago, I posted a message asking about what novels students are
reading in English classes at the high school level.  I suddenly
realized I never posted the responses.  Thanks to those who responded.
I'd still like more suggestions, if anyone has them.

Happy Holidays

If you have the latest PermaBound catalog, check pg. 262 where there are
a list of books that I use when making selections for the college-bound
student.  You don't have to order from PermaBound, of course, but I just
thought the list was a good one.  There are also novel units student
packets for all of these books.


The Rock Cried Out by Ellen Douglas
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
As I lay Dying by W. Faulkner
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston


Here's a link to some online suggestions, maybe she'll get some
inspiration from these:

Point your English teachers to this page ...

From the province of Saskatchewan in Canada, here is the link to the
