I agree with Shonda. I worked on many College Bound committees with ALA -that produced the final book. Should be something for everyone there... We use it here for our listings that "books all students should have read before they graduate" with our seniors.

The book includes fiction, non-fiction, biographies, plays, music, theater, film and television that should be read / seen by students. The book is 216 pages long, so there's bound to be a great wealth of titles (classics and contemporary classics) that you could share with them. I purchased my copy through Follett but you can also purchase it through ALA-- YALSA. ~Shonda Brisco Trinity Valley MS / US Librarian Fort Worth, TX briscos@trinityvalleyschool.org -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Paige Ysteboe Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 9:36 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: [LM_NET] Target: books for the college bound Another teacher and I are interested in compiling a list of "classics" that students should be familiar with before they enter college. Although we teach in middle school, we want to encourage our students to read some of the easier books (such as Call of the Wild and Jane Eyre) and have a list that they can take on to high school. I am aware of YALSA's list; however their current list is focused on recently published titles, not on classics. What I'm looking for are lists that have already been created so that we can have some sort of reference guide to look at.
