Class of 2026

Resource

English 3

Wes Moore - The Other Wes Moore - ISBN 978-0-385-52820-7

This summer all juniors are required to read the non-fiction text The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore. Double check the ISBN to ensure that you have purchased the correct paperback version of the text (no eBooks or PDFs allowed). You may opt to buy a used book if the ISBN is correct and the book has not already been annotated (since you will be annotating your text). 

Please be sure to be an active reader and annotate the text as you read The Other Wes Moore. For example, summarize plot development and character descriptions in the margins of each chapter, take note of any quotations that reveal new meanings or character insight, trace themes and recurring ideas, and mark any passages that confuse or interest you.  

Assessment

Pay attention to the people, settings, and situations that influence the two young men both named Wes Moore as you will be required to make comparisons of both young men in an essay written within the first few days of instruction in the Fall semester.
