Today was all...

English, Socials, Christian Studies:

We're almost done! Hang in there. You'll miss it when it's gone.

I guess it was the perfect storm

Enjoy your snow day, lovelies!

Will there be a snow day tomorrow?! Will all presentations take a back seat to snow-man building?! Tune in tomorrow for the dramatic conclusion!!

English

Once more time for clarity sake...

• Tomorrow is the start of Lit Circle presentations.
• There will be one paper copy submission per group: all questions/comments in preparation for the 4 meetings must be turned in tomorrow in one uniform format. Decide fairly and democratically among your group members how that will look for you.
• Anything related to the presentation format (theme, history, characters, author) can be sent to my email in one uniform document. That is to say, one submission of  per group.
• You are all doing one group reenactment of a historical scene. Pre-record or act in front of the class.
• As well you have already recorded your meetings so you will give me a copy of that to listen/watch.

Hopefully, this clears up any questions. No more work is being created for you except printing out your discussion topics for your meetings but this was already mentioned on your handout.
If you have any questions, submit them here in the comments below so all students can see them...but we asked questions at the end of school today, so we should all be clear on the expectations for tomorrow.
