Choose one of the works listed for each marking quarter. Read the entire work and annotate it. All annotations must be done in the book, either in the margins or on Post-It notes. No annotations will be accepted on separate paper.
Each week, you must post a key passage from the work on your outside reading blog and explain the importance of each in relation to the work as a whole. Then, in a 50 to 100 word analysis, discuss the importance of the passage with reference to specific literary and rhetorical devices.
You must print and post a final response to the book as a whole on your outside reading blog.
Books and annotations will be collected at the end of the quarter.
