English Course Reflection
I have chosen AP Literature and Composition as my next English course because I consider it to be a challenge and I expect myself to overcome it. I was recommended into this class by Ms.Dunlap after I completed 11th Grade Honors English so I decided to let it play out; to get the experience for the class.

I'll have to work on my assignments in the library on my own time and study independently for a certain amount of hours out of class. As my teacher, I expect you to give me personal help whenever I have a question, or am in need of your assistance. It'll be hard because of the other students that occupy your class, but if I'm really unsure or confused on a topic, I am sure to let you know through email or during a
