Pre-AP English II: Free Othello/Caesar Text & Audio

There are several versions of the text available free from Project Gutenberg. (Julius Caesar, too.) Please make sure you download a "by William Shakespeare" edition.

There is also a free recording from LibriVox. (Julius Caesar audio.) Note: the free audio recordings aren't great. Check Learn Out Loud for discount-price options. (There are 99-cent options at the iTunes store, but I suspect it's the LibriVox recording; let me know if you download it and it's not.)

If you come across any other free (or low-cost) resources, please leave a message in the comments section.

Pre-AP English II: Free Anthem Audio Book

If you'd like to listen to Anthem as you read it, check out these two free options:

• Librivox recording read by Chere Theriot


• ThoughtAudio recording read by Michael Scott

Remember, you still have to read the book. Listening along with the audio recording, however, will enable you to finish in just over two hours.

You're welcome.

Pre-AP English II: Christmas Carol Audio Files

If you would like a copy of A Christmas Carol on audio files, please bring a USB drive to class tomorrow.

For those of you freaking out about having to read the entire book over two weekends. please be aware that the entire audio recording (all five chapters) runs only 2.5 hours. That means just over an hour per weekend.

You can do this!

Please do do this.

Pre-AP English II: Lord of the Flies Audio Files

I am in the process of acquiring audio files of Lord of the Flies. I'll bring the first three chapters with me on Monday. If you'd like copies to listen to as you read, please bring a flashdrive with you to class.

(Listening to the audio files does not relieve you of the responsibility of reading and annotating the book. The intent is to enable you to hear the words as you read, as there are words you understand when you hear them that you may not recognize when you see them.)
