Honors English 4th Quarter Assignment Schedule
All assignments listed are out of the Prestwick House Pre-AP Language and Composition text by Douglas Grudzina, which
you ordered at the beginning of the year.


Assignments must be completed in order. Those taking the AP composition exam will have no additional final
exam for the quarter. For those not taking the exam, your final exam will be given during exam week.
This is a Pre-AP study book, so read slowly, trying the multiple choice passages as you go, reading the passages
and comparing your comprehension to the provided annotations, etc. It will only be beneficial if you treat it as a
practice activity, rather than reading to finish the pages.
