Re: What was your assigned reading in HS?

Freshman year was Romeo and Juliet, The Pearl, and multiple short stories; most of the year was about writing and grammar vs. reading because of teacher preference.

Sophomore was mostly Poe works, Julius Caesar, To Kill a Mockingbird, a few short stories; same teacher as freshman year but she'd been forced to incorporate more required reading. We also looked at stuff like Harry Potter and the Narnia books, though they weren't so much required as the teacher knew we'd all read them already and we just talked about them from there. This was the year the school started requiring reading at least four books a semester outside of class text for every student whereas before it'd been more of a reward thing vs. a requirement.(We'd do reports/reading tests on them to prove we'd been reading).

Junior was A Separate Peace, A Raisin in the Sun, Gatsby, the Crucible, a huge unit on poetry, and some short stories. There was also a required humanities course that year in which we read a few more plays, mostly looking at Shakespeare and some Eastern plays.

Senior year started out with a required summer reading list (for AP English) but our AP teacher bailed over the summer, the school had no idea how to replace her and they called off the reading list before most of us had began. Then we got a replacement teacher a few days before class started because there was next to no one for the job, and she couldn't care less about actually teaching us anything, so we had very little required reading. We were supposed to read Hamlet, Macbeth, Wuthering Heights and a couple of other things I honestly can't remember the title of, but she just made us watch the movie versions instead. We didn't even get the actual books given to us for most of the 'required' text.

I also took an optional Public Speaking/Speech/Dramatic Interp kind of course in which we were required to read a few plays/books off a list of options. I remember things like The Importance of Being Ernest, more Shakespeare, Dickens stuff, and a lot of film scripts being on the list.
