Humanities Class Calendar: 2022-23

Please note that the class calendar builds backwards, so the most recent dates are at the top of the page.

RED text indicates assignments with due dates, deadlines, or other important assignment thresholds

Please also be aware that ours' is a fluid class, and plans often change suddenly. I will make every effort to keep the calendar up-to-date, but our lessons do have a tendency to get moved around at the last second.

Copies of the actual assignments are found in Humanities Class section of this website.
