Moorpark: English 1C Tentative Schedule
The following tentative schedule includes readings from your two texts as well as any handouts:
- Presence of Others AKA POO
- Rules of Thumb AKA ROT
- Various Handouts AKA HO
Please check back for changes and updates. Complete all readings by due dates. Summary and responses (online journal) of POO readings are due online before the day we are to discuss the reading in class. Readings from ROT and any HOs are given as background for that week's work. Supplementary online discussion groups will meet twice monthly (TBA) to discuss readings, practice newly acquired skills, or problem solve, depending on individual and class needs.
