I suggest that you get copies of these books and read them in the order in which they are listed.  Each book will be discussed prior to your taking a unit test on it.  During the school year, we will read Antigone by Sophocles and Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare in class.

Have a great summer and I will see  you in August!
