This annotated listing of fiction and nonfiction works suitable for use in Senior High English courses was written and developed by teachers, in Alberta, Canada. It contains 83 new titles and 44 titles carried over from the 1983 list. A specific edition of each of the novel and nonfiction titles in the list has been authorized because of such features as the translation, the foreword and back notes, the cover, and availability. A Canadian maple leaf identifies Canadian titles in the list. After an introductory section and a discussion of issues for English teachers, the listing is organized by course, and each course is divided into fiction and nonfiction categories. Appendixes present suggestions regarding challenges to book selection and the Alberta Education Policy on Controversial Issues. (RS)
