12 AP English/ Burnett
Course Work- 11-12
The following is a schedule of our year together- changes may be made as the year progresses:
Reading Quizzes: If you plan well, at most your reading will require 15 pages per school night
(excluding weekends); the majority of works require between 5-10 pages per school night. Plan
well so you can read well- rushing and skimming will not help you on the quizzes.
