Reading

This will be the wrong class for students who do not like to read.  Throughout the school year, our class will be reading/reviewing/analyzing the literary works listed below.  While it is best to keep up in class, links to online editions of most of the works have been added so that students will have the texts available to them should an unanticipated absence occur.  As the Empress of all she surveys, Ms. Bedolla reserves the right to add/remove selections from the list as time permits.
