Honors 10 / English 10

Primary Texts

This is a list of the major literary works we will study this year. While we have sets of each here at Lewis and Clark available for students to check out, many may want to purchase the books on their own, in order to write notes and comments in the book themselves. Honors students will be required to purchase several of the titles listed, as in-book notes will be a priority. Titles should be readily available at larger local bookstores, or online through retailers such as Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com.
