3. Be prepared to answer THESE questions (with specific evidence from the text) by the end of unit one (September 10th)

Remember this when selecting your text --

While all of these texts have been approved for this course by the JSD Literature Selection Committee, that does not mean you personally will be comfortable with all of the content. All of the texts have both literary merit and valid, credible researched information. In talking about various issues, however, some of them will use language and/or describe situations and perspectives you may find offensive. Before you select your text, make sure you’ve read about it. Click on each title below for more information about the book.
