Ms. Neville's Class Resources

Over the next several weeks, you will read one of the following novels or plays on your own. Each of these pieces of literature has appeared numerous times on essay question three of the AP Literature & Composition test, and will therefore help you prepare for success on the test.

Please investigate your choices and make a decision by April 27. I recommend going to Goodreads.com or Amazon.com to read reviews of the books. You will need to bring your book with you to class daily beginning April 28; you will need to finish reading your book by May 19^th. Once you have finished reading, you will complete a note card and a writing assignment.
