The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis

Mrs. Buford adopts a specialized approach to selecting reading materials for her class, choosing books throughout the year rather than setting a one-time list before school starts. This method allows her to tailor her choices of quality literature to the evolving interests and academic needs of her students, while ensuring she avoids redundancy for multiple students who may have already explored certain books extensively. This process protects both the students' time and the parents' resources. Mrs. Buford leads the class effectively while also offering the class options for their next read, incorporating a diverse array of philosophical texts, studying various styles of poetry, and including extensive Bible readings into her curriculum. Below are the books that English III/IV covered during the 23-24 school year (these will not be repeated in 24-25 and DO NOT need to be purchased):
