DECEMBER FRESHMAN Pre-AP ENGLISH CALENDAR
Many assignments are projected in advance.
Please notice "Last updated" date for current changes.

Keep up: read The Odyssey at home if absent.
There will be quizzes on the reading and being absent will
necessarily be no excuse as it would affect your participation each day in class.
~ READ AHEAD ~

Keep up on assignments for the Greek Research paper as our instruction is progressive and depends upon mastery of concepts introduced the day before.
