One of my high school teachers is on the textbook adoption committee for
a new course called Freshman Honors. She needs to do some research on
current approaches to teaching an advanced 9th grade reading and writing
course. They are trying to decide on what novels should be read. They
believe they need some classical lit, are not sure if Great Expectations
is the best choice. Do any of you currently have a freshman honors
course in your school? Do you know of any research or current
professional material on current approaches to teaching this? Do you
have opinions about what literature to include? Thanks in advance.

The Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?
