Hello incoming Juniors!
We've reached just over the half-way part of summer, and before you go into mourning, just think that you still have half of a summer to enjoy and fill with great reading! I hope you've been making progress on your summer reading achievements, and that you've found books that you've been enjoying. I forgot to post some of my favorites if you are hoping to earn the "Teacher's Pet" achievement, so below you will find a list of some of my favorites. I will intentionally omit those books that we read during junior year or senior AP Lit, so my list might seem very narrow in focus to you. I'll try to get some posted for Mrs. Harris and add any to my lists that I've forgotten.
Some of McElliott's favorite classic novels:
North and South (Gaskell)
Mary Barton (Gaskell)
Jane Eyre (C. Bronte)
