Hello Friends! Looking for ideas from you all for potential read-alongs or replacements for: Antigone, Of Mice & Men, The Crucible, and Frankenstein. I’ve got some ideas but want to hear what you all have in mind. #booktalk #DisruptTexts #EnglishLanguageLiterature

Dear Online Students,

Please don’t summarize the chapters in your discussion posts. I read it, and so did your classmates—presumably.

Sincerely,
