The Senior English Roadmap outlines a framework for literacy habits taught in all senior English courses at Northbrook High School, including the AP Literature course. As teachers on the 12th grade English team, our purpose is to establish literacy habits that will help students to enjoy a lifetime of reading and writing.

11th and 12th grade English courses are designed to prepare you for the rigor and complexity of college-level work. Readings and assignments are often challenging, and it is important to take action early if you are having difficulty in class.
