Advice Letter

Advice for upcoming Juniors in Mrs. Higgins AP English class.

This class really doesn’t require daily homework. The only time you will do that is while you are reading a book. So you won’t be too bogged down with homework from her class. The only stress outside of school for these projects are when she assigns projects or the research paper. Be warned...she does not treat each class the same. Sometimes she gives extra time for the other class. She might not give them the same work either.

The most important part to remember is to make sure you pay attention in class. Thats where 90% of everything you learn will be. Everything you need to know to pass the AP Exam is during class. If you don’t pay attention or fall asleep you will be in the gutter because the stuff you learn isn’t going away and she will probably assign a mini project to make sure you understand the subject.

Last few tips:

Don’t wait to read the assigned chapters. She has popped surprise tests and essays on the books you read. Don’t fall behind.

Make sure you don’t procrastinate in general.
