Cookeville High School – English Department

2009-2010 Summer Reading List

Honors, AP, IB, Dual Credit

 

======================================================================

The following books are the designated summer reading selections for upper level classes at Cookeville High School for the summer of 2009. Questions about any of the books should be directed to the instructor for the class.  Students do not have to purchase a new copy of any book; used copies will work just fine for reading purposes and close marking. Students are reminded that specific reading assignments are posted on individual class Nicenet web sites and/or on handouts provided by the instructors before the close of the 2008-2009 school term.  Students who will transfer to CHS to begin classes in the fall of 2009 should contact the class instructor as soon as possible to get information on completing the reading assignments.
