Small groups: Any of the above + The Things They Carried; In Cold Blood; The Poisonwood Bible; Grapes of Wrath; The Road; A Farewell to Arms; Song of Solomon; Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

There are more but I'm drawing a blank at this moment. AP Language & Comp is primarily a nonfiction course, so small groups or individually for novel reading is generally how I go; I use mostly nonfiction in the whole class mode.

More and more I'm teaching in small groups to allow for more student choice and variety (and fewer restrictions by the district).
Thanks for this!
