Starting today, we will be reading Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations. Here is some information you might find helpful: You can read the full text here. (You can also Google "Great Expectations full text" for other versions. Great Expectations is not under copyright, so it is free to distribute on the internet): Full Text Here is an audiobook version on YouTube that includes the text. It is broken up by chapter. This is the first chapter: YouTube Audiobook with text Here is the reading schedule. Notice that you have to do more reading over the weekend. You need to be finished with the chapters by the date they are listed (for example, finish reading chapters 1-3 BEFORE class on Thursday/Friday Oct. 22/23). You can pick up a copy of the book from school (if you want) on Wednesday, Oct. 28. Ms. Hubner the "bookroom lady" will be on Second Street in front of the school (there will be a sign) from 12:20-3:00. In order to pick up a book you need to wear a mask and bring your high school OR elementary ID. If you do not have an ID, you can write your name and ID on a piece of paper to hand to her and she will give you a copy of the book. IF you pick up lunch from school, you can then go get your lunch! Hopefully it is pizza!
Ms. Hubner will also be there on Friday, October 30 if you still want/need to pick up a book, even though there is no school that day. You can buy a copy of the book if you want (you do not need to). I like the Penguin Classics version (it's $9.99 on Amazon) but the Dover Thrift version is also good ($6.99 on Amazon).
