Be prepared to write every day. You will write so so much and it will be great practice for the AP exam. I've taken Ms. Brewer's AP Lit class and it was always interesting. She accepts criticism very very well, so don't be afraid to correct her because she makes mistakes. sometimes She doesn't take points off for late work as long as it's turned in by the end of the grading period. She will also accept work even it's way past due as long as it's by the end of the semester. That being said, don't slack off and think you'll just make up the work later or you'll have to write until you can't feel your hands in order to not fail. There aren't many extra credit options, but her assignments are pretty straightforward and simple albeit filled with writing. She wears Victorian-looking clothes but she's a very modern woman.

I love how she talks not only about the life of the writer of a text, but also includes historical context so you can really understand what made the writer write that.
