Choose a novel for your ISU.

Please choose a novel by November 9th for approval; bring that novel to class. It should be a novel appropriate to both grade 10 Academic English level meaning it should be reasonably challenging and thought-provoking. You will ultimately need to choose a theme to analyse and make connections with other works.

To help in your choice, I ask that students post their top three favourite books as a comment to this post.
