Supplemental Reading Lists

Students, if you are looking for more ways to engage with reading this spring, here is a supplemental reading list curated by your Honors 10 teachers. This list includes books that would have been options for you to read during the cancelled book club unit.

Reading anything on this list is optional, but might be a great way to keep your literary analysis skills sharp for nest year (especially if you plan to take AP).

If you do read anything off the list, consider making a brief review or posting a short video to Flipgrid here. In your review, be sure to include:

1. A brief description of the book (No spoilers, please)

2. Any themes/topics relevant to the book

3. Your overall impression of the book & whether you would recommend it to someone else

Purdue Writing Lab - This site is a great resource for ensuring proper format for citations. In ELA, you'll mostly use MLA (Modern Language Association) - though the APA and Chicago resources may be useful for you in other disciplines.
