If you have a book that may fit into History I, first ask me for permission to substitute it
for one of the above listed biographies or books.
You are required to write a book report using a format I will provide on my web site. It
must be 3-4 pages, single-spaced, typed and stapled. On the due date, bring your report
and book to class for my review. For detailed instructions on all your reading
requirements and due dates, read the course syllabus.
If you cannot find a book, you can ask me for assistance. Do not use the HCC Book Store
unless you cannot find the books. Use Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Brown Books,
Half-Price Books, etc.
