My Project

Our Literary Criticism team is a dedicated group of students passionate about exploring the depths of literature. To Kill a Mockingbird, Shakespeare's Sonnets, and The Iceman Cometh are the required readings for the upcoming year.

To assist in studying and to excel in our upcoming competitions, I wish to provide each member of our team with the essential literary works that are central to the reading list.

These books are not only pivotal for the teams' preparation, but they also serve to enrich our students' understanding of classic literature beyond the scopes of the classroom. By having personal copies, students can engage more deeply with the material, annotate, and discuss themes and literary devices effectively.

This project will directly support our students' academic growth and confidence as they dive into these significant works and foster a lifelong appreciation for literature.
