> Subject: HIT: high school required reading
>
> Good morning,
>
> I have received many responses asking for a HIT. This was tougher than
> it seems, most states or even districts do not have recommended
> classroom reading lists for each grade level. One of our English
> teachers is trying to get the middle and high schools together...we
> often have kids who have read a book 2 or 3 times by the time they
> graduate..all at different grade levels.
>
> Below is the list of responses I received. It really seems to be up to
> each individual English department of each individual school...or each
> individual teacher. While autonomy is wonderful, it seems students
> would be better served if specific teachers could pick from a specific
> "grade level" list, so kids could at least be introduced to many
> different classroom novels or lit books.
>
> thanks to those who took the time to reply. My teacher is still
> thrilled w/ the input. This list has always been more than helpful
> every time and it makes us all look so good to our teachers!

> Here is a modified list of what is read at some grades:
>
> 12------A Tale of Two Cities
> 11------Scarlet Letter
> 10------The Chosen
> 11------Great Expectations
>
> Our AP classes and preAP classes read many more.

> If you visit our English department's web page most of the teachers
> have a list of their required reading during the school year.
> Hope this is helpful.

> Good morning, Ginnie,

> I have been following the listserv and hoping that you would post the

> required titles that are taught in classes, and not recommended or
> summer
> reading lists). I have been unable to locate a comprehensive list
> anywhere
> on the web. I have looked at state education sites, but haven't seen
> any
> lists thus far even for states (such as the Illinois Department of
> Education
> site).
>
> What I have been doing is going to web sites of individual high
> schools and
> checking to see if they have web sites for any of their classes.
> Then, I
> check and see if the syllabus for any of the English classes is
> available on
> the web, and I check to see what books they teach. This is of course
> extremely time consuming. Below are some of the books that I've come
> across
> and the state that they are taught in. I'd love to see what responses
