We will read a varitety of texts and generas in the pre-AP classroom. While it is not required that Pre-AP students purchase their own copy of these texts, it is very highly recommended that they do so. It will be helpful for them to be able to revisit annotations as they prepare for their AP exams during Junior and Senior year. These books may also be required reading in their college courses. It is good to start building this library now so that they are prepared for these rigorous tests and courses in the coming years.

The list below includes the edition we study in class for ease in referencing the the text as we discuss.

• The Odyssey (Robert Fitzgerald translation) – ISBN 9780374525743
  • A PDF of the text can be found here. Open in Adobe Reader to highlight and annotate.
  • Please note that this is the only translation we will use during this course.
