3rd Year English Update

Hi all,

I hope you are all doing well. As we start back into 3^rd Year we begin to study particular topics, such as a studied Shakespeare play and a second novel. It is really important that students have a textbook/copy of the novel in order to study these topics.

A. Studied Shakespeare play is ‘The Merchant of Venice’. The publisher copy needed is the educate copy (please find attached the image of the book). This costs €12.95 including the portfolio workbook.‘The Merchant of Venice’ can be purchased from the below websites:

B. The novel this year is ‘Of Mice and Men’, by John Steinbeck. The publisher copy needed is the Barrington Stokes copy (please find attached the image of the book). This costs €9-12 depending on where you purchase it. 'Of Mice and Men’ can be purchased from the below websites:

It is pertinent that ‘The Merchant of Venice’ is purchased before November, as we will be starting this text when we return from Halloween break.

If there are any issues with purchasing the books (delays/lack of stock), please let Áine (3 Walker English teacher) or Hannah (3 Lopez English teacher) know by sending a VS-Mail to Julie in the office.

Many thanks,
