Did your school do this? Where the whole class read the book together, took tests on it and used it as a goup activity? My all time favorite was To Kill A Mockingbird, followed closely by The Cruicible. What was yours?

I don't know why, but it was The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I liked it so much, I refused to hand in the book! I still have it, and still feel guilty about it ever since :o)

I know it's been awhile for me. I haven't been a sophomore in high school since the 1988-1989 school year, but I do remember reading some books that were really good. Gone With the Wind- Margaret Mitchell, Uncle Tom's Cabin- Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Fall of the House of Usher- Edgar Allen Poe, The Red Badge of Courage (I can't remember the author), Little Women-Louisa May Alcott, Moby Dick- Hermann Melville. You could always try the Harry Potter series. Ask your current class if they have any suggestions. The students may know of a few books that the teacher isn't aware of. Or, do what my English Lit. teacher did that year and choose something that they can act out- Romeo and Juliet or Macbeth are always good and you could have them act it out onstage in your school's theater.

There were 2 that I really enjoyed. In grade 9 it was Huckleberry Finn and in grade 11 it was Wuthering Heights.
I read To Kill a Mockingbird on my own but was thoroughly bored by it...sorry. My daughter has to read that one this year in grade 10 so maybe I should try to reread it to see if it is any better than what I remember.

To Kill A Mockingbird was definitely my favorite, too. I've read it several times since high school with the last time just a few months ago when my son had to read it.

To Kill a Mockingbird in freshmen english. We read it independently on a schedule and took tests on it. I read it for hours every day after school and was way ahead of the class. And I aced all the tests.

No doubt, To Kill a Mockingbird, then after we finished with the book, we got to watch the movie together as a class. The movie is just as good.

Nah.
I kinda left mainstream education by the time I was 13 and slotted in to the system at 14. So there was no such curriculum where I was.
But I do remember having to read a book called "Lord of the Flies". Another was "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold" (I think - I got fed up with that one in no time), and another was was "The Hobbit".
None of therm really appealed to me; I just read them because I had to, and in those days you'd cop a seriously good hiding if you fouled up.

I would give the best answer to anyone who remembers a book they read in high school.
Actually it is all coming back, Ruth Park's "A Harp in the South" and it's follow up "A Poor Man's Orange", great Aussie novels, though I believe she was born a Kiwi.
