Also...

Make sure you have everything spelled correctly (and used correctly, as well) before you put it on the big screen...and if you are using graphs, make sure they are labeled. :)

GRADES

If you have not returned your America on Trial average score and reflection, you must do so by Thursday...else, I will be putting in a ZERO in the gradebook.

Barking Abbey Pen Pals :)

So...the London school who helped us for the "trial," Barking Abbey, has created a blog where their students can connect with some of our students. Please take the time to read through their two posts (so far) and respond in their comments. Obviously, remember that this is an academic inquiry, thus prompting a professional response. Have fun! Make a friend! :)
