Tues, 11/19: timed write + more

Today we had a timed write. If you were absent, you need to email me and arrange to come make it up in the student support center on Wednesday morning. This is really important to do so that you can participate fully in Thursday's class.

We then went over the fever chart assignment. Please review the assignment sheet and be prepared to bring in your finished product to display on 12/3. We discussed the options for what you're creating, so you should definitely ask a classmate about this! You will submit the written work before class begins that day to Teams.

I also gave a timeline for the rest of the unit. If you were absent, ask a peer to share this info with you.

Homework:

  1. Fever chart entry for ch 4 due Wednesday night to Teams.
  2. 5.1 work. Here's a good example of comic relief if you are unfamiliar with the concept.
