2 Novels From Albert Camus

Help me give my students a physical copy of a book we will read in our AP Literature classroom.

My Project

This will allow each student to read the novels of Albert Camus in printed form. Since his novels are rather complex, it can be very helpful for students to see the text on the printed page, flip back and forth between chapters while studying and analyzing shifts in the text, and use Post-it notes for color-coded annotations of the actual pages.

Because so many students in my school have restricted home budgets, it isn't fair of me as a teacher to require students to purchase books for our high school classroom.

I don't want students to be excluded from learning and analyzing an amazing literary work due to whether or not they could afford to buy it themselves.

Additionally, this set of textbooks will have future use, as I will use them each year in future classes going forward. This will allow successive classes of students to benefit from this one project.
