OUTSIDE READING PROJECT
At the start of the semester, students will select one novel from the teacher-curated list of outside reading texts provided in the gallery below that they will read independently during the first twelve weeks of the semester; the final weeks of the semester will be devoted to developing an interpretive project about how this novel imagines what it will mean to live in a climate-altered future.
