-Students should plan to either keep one running document on the computer as his/her writing journal or use a spiral notebook.  
-Although not required, a three-ringed binder is helpful because students will be able to easily keep track of vocabulary and other assignments.
-Several student-selected library books or purchased books for independent interest-based reading.  
-Required books for the semester:  "To Kill a Mockingbird" by:  Harper Lee, "Into the Wild" by John Krakauer, "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, and "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury.

Parental Warning: This course covers literary works such as "Antigone," "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar," "Fahrenheit 451," "Into the Wild," and "To Kill a Mockingbird," which may include content that could be emotionally challenging for some students. These materials may touch on sensitive subjects such as death, violence, discrimination, and social issues.

I am committed to fostering a respectful and supportive learning environment. In approaching sensitive topics, I will provide context and guidance, and I encourage open communication between students and parents. If you have concerns about specific content or believe it may be distressing for your child, please feel free to contact me, and we can work together to find appropriate alternatives or accommodations. My goal is to ensure a positive and inclusive educational experience for all students.
