To determine placement in the traditional Writ Lit I or advanced approach in Honors English, consider the following:

A successful Honors English student is one who:

• Is self-motivated to complete assignments consistently and independently in class and at home

• Is not simply a dutiful reader and writer but possesses a passion for language and ideas

• Is prepared to work faster and thus progress further than students in Writing Through Literature I

• Is excited about learning rather than anxious about grades
