Regents Debrief/ Realism Unit

Good afternoon folks!!

I hope you all had a good week of testing and aren't too tuckered out. We have the scores for the Comprehensive English Regents exam and will be going over them with you today for a part of class.

The rest of the time, we will be introducing the upcoming unit of American Realism, which we will be starting on Monday with the start of fourth marking period!

What we need to have from you today is your book choice for the Literature Circles! We will be giving you an index card and you will need to fill out the following information:

• Your name
• Your first THREE choices for the novel that you wish to read
• The choice of novel that is an absolute NO for you.

Each period is going to have a different set of texts to choose from (although there is two overlapping titles) so please read each option and look up a brief summary of the novel to help you make your choice


**Please choose a novel that you find interesting and will want to read instead of one that your friends choose!! You will be working with this novel for the next few weeks!!**
