12 AP English/ Burnett
Course Work- 12/13
The following is a schedule of our year together- changes may be made as the year progresses. If
there is a school closure on the scheduled day of a quiz or due assignment, the quiz/ assignment
will proceed the day of return unless otherwise specified on homework wikispace. In case of
school closure, always check the homework wikispace for possible assignment/quiz
postponement.
Reading Quizzes: Most reading quizzes require 15 pages per school night; the majority of works
require between 5-10 pages per school night, some of the more modern works require a bit more.
Plan well so you can read well- rushing and skimming will not help you on the quizzes.
