Pre-Rhetoric Literature List
Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2016 8:56 pm
The literature book list for pre-rhetoric students is attached.
Please note that students are discouraged from pre-reading the assigned literature books over the summer or more than two weeks prior to the time they’re assigned. While it is wonderful to have eager readers and wonderful stories, it is important that the books are read and understood within the proper historical context. Often students who read the books over summer do not read them again during the year (only skimming them instead), and many teachable moments for discussion and assignments are lost.
Motivated readers are encouraged to enjoy the books on the TOG alternate reading list.
