Do I have homework every night?

Unofficially, yes.  Even if I have not assigned specific reading 
on a 
particular night, I still expect you to review your vocabulary 
words and the 
reading we discussed in class that day.  This may mean that you 
are going 
back over your notes or reading guide and filling in any 
questions that we 
went over in class that you did not write down in class.  
Frequently, you 
will have specific pages of reading assigned on particular 
nights, and you 
are expected to have completed the reading whether or not we have 
a reading 
quiz the following day.

Should I be taking notes during class discussion?

YES!!!  Many examples of literary terms, themes, and other 
terminology and 
ideas that you need to know for tests, quizzes, and essays come 
out in class 
discussion.  Many students do not feel it is necessary to take 
notes during 
discussion, but it is vital to success in the class.  Anything 
said during 
any point in class is game for a test or a quiz.

Do I need to bring my book to class every day?

Now that we have a class set of textbooks, no.  But if students 
do not treat my class set well, I will take away this option and 
start requiring you to bring your textbook to class.
