English Classes: Reading Reminders

Pre-AP English II: You need to have read through Chapter Four of Lord of the Flies by the time we come together tomorrow. (See this earlier blog post for a way to get the text of the novel free.)

English I (Pre-AP): You need to have read from Act 2, Scene 2, through Act 2, Scene 6 of Romeo and Juliet (Ms. Muñoz is going to talk to her students and see if some want to re-sell you their copies of the book. If you don't have a copy, start bringing $5 to school to pick up a copy as they come available).

English I (Pre-AP): No Fear Shakespeare/Romeo & Juliet — Not Quite a Solution

Online, at the No Fear Shakespeare website, you can read their edition of Romeo & Juliet for free.

If you have ordered a copy and are waiting for it to arrive AND you have dedicated internet access on your digital device, you may use the online version in class.

As you cannot annotate it, this will not work as a long-term solution, but it will get the job done until after the EOC test (when we'll work with the text more closely).
