Tuesday Dec 13th

10s - today you wrote your analytical paragraph and turned in your copy of Animal Farm.  If you missed today please see me asap to arrange a time to write your paragraph and turn in your copy.  Please bring in your copies on Thursday....

9s - today you wrote your opinion pieces.  If you missed today please see me to arrange a time to write your piece.

For Thursday - be ready with your Pecha Kulcha presentations.  Putting your file on a USB is great!  Ensure that you've preset the timer (located in the transitions menu) to 10 seconds so that slides advance without needing to press a button.  Looking forward to hearing and seeing all about your reading.

All blocks - spend some time on your Pecha Kucha presentations - refer to the rubric on the back of the assignment sheet for details re: project and presentation.  Spend time plotting out what you're going to say first, then work on finding clear, simple images that will enhance what you share with the class.  Pecha Kucha presentations run on Thursday Dec 15th.  Be ready!
