After we read Anne Frank, we will move on to our reading of To Kill a Mockingbird.  Because we annotate as we read, it is much easier if students have their own copies of the book.  Students should have their copies by Tuesday, November 10.  It should be an unmarked copy (not previously annotated by another student).  The book can be purchased at Barnes and Noble or Target. You can also purchase the book online.  You may also be able to purchase a used unmarked copy on amazon.com.  If students are not able to purchase their own copy, they will be allowed to check out a copy from the library; however , they will then have to do all annotating on post-it notes.  It is much easier and effective when they can write and highlight in their own books.
