English 2 ALA Schedule Mrs.

Carter 2013-2014
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 two weeks 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. Please refer to the last updated date in the footer to ensure you are looking at the most current version. I have also shaded the weeks in alternating colors to make it easier to see content in terms of weeks. The most current version of this calendar will be posted on my website: http://carterclasschs.weebly.com/english-2.html
