1. Choose a book from the list provided for the current term.

Choose one book to complete for each term from the list provided for a total of four books per year. You must read the books across, so you will need to think through all the books for the entire year and collaborate with others in the class to choose the same books. If your row of books has an apple in it, you get to choose ANY book from the column. The apples are wild cards.
