We'll be going over readings from the 1800's in England and Europe, which covers their Romantic and Victorian periods. To make our literature assignments more achievable for most students this year, we have reduced the number of required assignments to ten, and the number of questions in each assignment is three questions.

Students need to complete five tests in total, and may choose to take either one of the last two that are already scheduled.

We will have a variety of speaking and writing tasks, and more will be posted here later on those. For now, focus on Speech Meet. Homework for each student's chapter for their speech must be done by Wednesday after break - exercises C & E. The first 200 words of your speech must be recited in class by Friday of the week after break.
