All Douglas Anderson students are expected to have completed all assigned summer reading texts by the first day of school, and are expected to have copies of the text with them. You should purchase the edition listed by ISBN # so every student has the same page numbers. It is advisable that students take notes on the books and write out any questions they may have about the texts in preparation for in-class discussion and for clarification before assessments.
