AP Literature Learning Schedule

This is the tentative schedule for Week One of the new school year. I will be giving each of you a formalized schedule of the reading and writing tasks for the entire quarter, with state standards referenced, by the end of the week. This should be fairly accurate, though, fire drills and assemblies notwithstanding.
