Any of the books listed below are acceptable for those two reports. You must, however,
turn in one of the permission slips below
before making your selections. If your Pre-AP English teacher does not have a signed permission slip when ready to grade your report, you will receive NO credit for your effort and a zero will be recorded. Information/directions, etc.
on the two reports themselves will be given to you closer to the time they are due by your
Pre-AP English teacher. The first report will be due in early November and the second report will be due mid-spring semester. Dates TBA by your Pre-AP English teacher.
