Answer 8

Okay, here's a list of books I remember having to read, not the ones I picked to read for reports. Something tells me I'm missing some, but it's been over a decade since I graduated so there's going to be gaps in my memory where books that clearly weren't that memorable fall.

9th Grade : "The Lord of the Flies" and "Romeo and Juliet"

10th Grade: Edith Hamilton's "Mythology," "The Odyssey," "Animal Farm," some story on Helen Keller and Annie Sulivan (don't remember the name but I don't think it was "The Miracle Worker"), "Hiroshima" (this was for science), and the first book in the Foundation series (actually, the entire class couldn't get past the first few pages so this was the only book our English teacher decided we didn't have to keep reading)

11 Grade: "The Killer Angels" (outside 10th grade English this was one of the few books in high school that I had to read that I actually enjoyed reading and still like to read) and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"

12th Grade: "Hamlet" and selected reading from "The Canterbury Tales"

Answer 9

For my freshmen year, we read:

1. The Diary of Anne Frank (for summer reading)
2. Animal Farm by George Orwell
3. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
4. Death Be Not Proud by John Gunther
5. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

There was also The Chocolate War, whose author's name I don't know, but it we didn't have to read it if we didn't want to, and I didn't, so I picked up a different book from our library.

For my sophomore year, we have to read To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee for summer reading. I don't know about the rest of the year. Good luck with high school, you'll have a blast.

Answer 10

Let's see...some of the books I had to read in high school were...To Kill a Mockinbird, Brave New World, The Great Gatsby, Our Town, Death of a Salesman, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Babbitt, ...there were others, but it's been 22 years....but feels like last week.
