The Handmaid's Tale
Students are to read to page 99 by Monday 9/15.
To Parents-
The novel that your children received today is The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It is an amazing work of literature that is also quite controversial. Although I recommend parents to read everything their students read, I know that it is not always easy. I am a parent, so I know how responsiblilities can pile up and time can evaporate. This novel, however, is one that parents should read. The themes of religion and politics, sexuality, gender roles, and individuality are important discussions to have in class and at home.

Anthem
Students are to read Anthem by Thursday 9/11/08. I would also like you to select one passage from the novel that you feel is important to the meaning of the work as a whole. You don't have to retype the passage, but I need the page number and a written explanation as to why you chose it.
