Note: We will begin reading the novel, A Separate Peace, by John Knowles the week of November 13.  In the past, many students have preferred to complete the novel study using a personal copy so that they may annotate directly in the book.  Any students wishing to do so should plan on having their copy by then. Having a personal copy is NOT required. Students will be able to complete coursework using novels checked out from the library as well.
