Subject Update: Literature - 10/8

This week, we started our new novel, The Count of Monte Cristo.  We will be reading this from now till Christmas.  As with the last book, your 8th graders will be purchasing their copies of the book unless they brought their own.  These books are $7 each.  This will be charged to your account through TADS.

This is a long and complex book.  Because of this, we read a majority of it in class.  Of the 15-20 pages of reading each night, we will usually get through 10-12 of these pages in class to help everyone understand what is going on in the story.  This is a wonderful book that becomes an all-time favorite for many 8th graders!
