<p>For those of you in Honors English 11, how much work do you guys get? Is reading ~40 pgs from The Scarlet Letter every other day (block schedule) + Weekly vocab quizes and text book reading considered a lot?</p>
<p>Eh, I didn't take "Honors English" as a junior; it was AP. But same thing. Anyways, we had to read two - three chapters per day and do sets of questions which we had to answer in paragraph form. We read Richard III, Brave New World, Rebecca, Tess of The D'Urbevilles and Pride and Prejudice. Despite the workload, it was THE MOST enriching class I've ever had.</p>
<p>I hardly ever have English homework. The only things I ever have to do outside of class are perhaps a random vocab packet and a paper here and there.</p>
<p>Honors English 11 is known as one of the toughest classes at my school. Tons of vocab quizzes, along with reading of literature. A lot of group projects. A lot of essay writing.</p>
<p>English 3 (honors and not) was the bane of junior year.</p>
<p>That was probably one of my easiest classes Junior year...we almost NEVER had homework besides reading (sometimes an essay). English is very subjective, though. Varies GREATLY from school to school.</p>
<p>i had it last year and it was death
enormous amounts of work---scarlet letter, vocab, tests, quizzes, projects, essays, research papers--you name it, we had it, and probably all at the same time</p>
<p>on the other hand, some of my friends had a diff teacher, and they did like 2 essays the entire year</p>
<p>go take AP English Language and Comp. Your teacher can be exceedingly chill with your class and still get you to a 5 on the test.</p>
<p>I'm not taking English 11H (we call it American Classics at my school) until next semester, but it's supposed to be the hardest English class at the school, and I'm scared!</p>
<p>The honors English classes vary dramatically even within our school. Some of the teachers are die hard English Nazis while others are very laid back and chill. Thankfully, there was only 1 AP English teacher so I knew what to expect :)</p>
<p>lol at my school the only kids that take honors english lll are the ones who aren't able to take ap lang. i'm the exception because i took ap lang in 10th, but honors english might be the slackest class i've ever been in. ever.</p>
<p>yeah i'm also taking english H 11, although since i read sorta fast, my main beef with the class is the essay assignments... which seem to be attached to every single thing we do.</p>
<p>At my school, you are warned about the teacher and the project (Family History) in eighth grade, and the fear builds until junior year, and you realize:</p>
<p>It's all true.</p>
<p>That's how bad it is.</p>
<p>I'm taking it right now, and so far we've only had one short assignment. But then again, my teacher is one of those anti-society, pro-anarchy ones so pretty much all we do is discuss conspiracy theories - from how 9/11 was an inside job to how 300 was meant to brainwash us in to hating Iraqi's and make us want to join the US Army. So yeah, pretty chill at my school.</p>
<p>I have IB English. It's not that hard...just a lot of work.</p>
<p>That does seem a little extreme, but that's pretty much what I had back in English III Honors last year. Although reading sparknotes is never as good, or helpful as actually reading the text, but sometimes it's helpful if you're crunched for time.</p>
<p>i had that much work in honors english 11 and while it was kind of a lot, i didnt have trouble doing it. if you think its too much you shouldnt be in honors. =P</p>
<p>doesn't sound too bad. (Scarlet Letter is pretty sweet, btw...it gets better after the middle)...right now, I'm reading about 25-35 pages for Jane Eyre (she gave us about a month and a half to read it)...right now we're going over the 4 books we read over the summer, but we'll have inside reading which will be more intensive.</p>
<p>I've had it pretty easy so far. We haven't started The Scarlet Letter yet, the only hardest thing we've had to do is write a story...</p>
<p>Nothing hard yet.</p>
