NOTE: This list is not comprehensive. It is intended as a guide or a starting point for your Fourth Quarter Project. Please talk to your parents first, since you will need their approval for your selection, as well as former English teachers and your librarians about these works. Together, we can help you select a title and/or author that will inspire your best work. Again, this is NOT the final list of choices. Talk to me if you have other choices you would like to see considered.
