AP Literature Schedule Mrs.

Carter 2012-2013
Notes about this schedule: Plans are always subject to change; however, I will not ever change an assignment in a way that gives you less time to complete it. This schedule offers what I call my best guess at what I would like to cover. You are responsible for making additions and changes that I announce in class. I will always give you at least a months worth of information so that you can manage your assignments. Homework is due the following class, unless otherwise specified. In the class content column, the indicates which text you will need that day. Remember to check the night before so that you are prepared to bring the correct text. The newest copy of this schedule will be housed on my website. Please refer to the last updated date in the footer to ensure you are looking at the most current version.

Do you want your own copy of Hamlet to annotate? We will start reading it on 10/12. If you purchase a hard copy, I recommend the Folger Library edition of the play. (Its inexpensive & has good footnotes). DO NOT PURCHASE a parallel text like NO FEAR Shakespeare. We are AP; we must wrestle with difficult texts without crutches. Note that ebook versions of the play are probably FREE or only 99.
