| 9780393935851 | "They Say / I Say": The Moves That Matter In Academic Writing (Third High School Edition) | Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein | The book that demystifies academic writing, now in a high school hardcover edition with an introduction and teaching notes by Jim Burke. “They Say / I Say” demystifies academic discourse and shows students that writing well means mastering some key rhetorical moves―the most important of which is to summarize what others have said (“they say”) in order to set up one’s own argument (“I say”). Students learn that writing is always part of a larger conversation, and the book provides templates to show students how to bring their own views in conversation with those expressed by others.

| 9780758778437 | Animal Farm | George Orwell | Animal Farm Is The Most Famous By Far Of All Twentieth-century Political Allegories. Its Account Of A Group Of Barnyard Animals Who Revolt Against Their Vicious Human Master, Only To Submit To A Tyranny Erected By Their Own Kind, Can Fairly Be Said To Have Become A Universal Drama. Orwell Is One Of The Very Few Modern Satirists Comparable To Jonathan Swift In Power, Artistry, And Moral Authority; In Animal Farm His Spare Prose And The Logic Of His Dark Comedy Brilliantly Highlight His Stark Message. Taking As His Starting Point The Betrayed Promise Of The Russian Revolution, Orwell Lays Out A Vision That, In Its Bitter Wisdom, Gives Us The Clearest Understanding We Possess Of The Possible Consequences Of Our Social And Political Acts. | Follettbound |

| 9780140481402 | Arthur Miller's Adaptation Of An Enemy Of The People By Henrik Ibsen | Arthur Miller, Henrik Ibsen | Dr. Stockmann attempts to expose a water pollution scandal in his home town which is about to establish itself as a spa. When his brother, the mayor, conspires with local politicians and the newspaper to suppress the story, Stockmann appeals to the public meeting—only to be shouted down and reviled as 'an enemy of the people'. Ibsen's explosive play reveals his distrust of politicians and the blindly held prejudices of the 'solid majority'. | Penguin Books |
| 9780765329615 | Article 5 | Kristen Simmons | New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have been abandoned. The Bill of Rights has been revoked and replaced with the Moral Statutes. There are no more police—instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for bad behavior—instead, there are arrests, trials, and maybe worse. People who get arrested usually don't come back. Seventeen-year-old Ember Miller is old enough to remember that things weren’t always this way. Living with her rebellious single mother, it’s hard for her to forget that people weren’t always arrested for reading the wrong books or staying out after dark. That life in the United States used to be different. Ember has perfected the art of keeping a low profile. She knows how to get the things she needs, like food stamps and hand-me-down clothes, and how to pass the random home inspections by the military. Her life is as close to peaceful as circumstances allow. That is, until her mother is arrested for noncompliance with Article 5 of the Moral Statutes. And one of the arresting officers is none other than Chase Jennings…the only boy Ember has ever loved. | Tor Teen |
