Hard at Work

Class is starting to role, with many projects going on. I am glad to have the argument essay out of the way but now just in anticipation to see how I did??!!! I am excited to start my senior portfolio and the controversial issues are beginning too! Along with the reading of 1984, which I am acutally finding somewhat enjoyable. :) I know that all his hardwork will soon pay off!

Ég þarf hjálp vinsamlegast

Google translate says that means "I need help, please," in Icelandic.

Anyways, I'm finishing up my intro letter right now and I was wondering if this is going to be for the final grade or if this is more of a rough draft type grade. In other words, is what we turn in tomorrow going for the grade on the final rubric or is the whole project going to be graded altogether at the end when we turn them in while what we turn in tomorrow is just to make sure we get it done on time?

Another question:
Do we have to have our pictures and our visual with us when we turn it in? Or does that just go with our final portfolio?

I would appreciate helpful comments :)

Intro letter

Are we suppose to send in our letters via e-mail or is it something that we print out and talk about it in class?

Controversial Project!

Thanks everyone for the comments about our project! It was a lot of fun to be in front of class and hearing everyone's point of view. Especially about a mature topic like Gay Rights. It's not your normal, PG rated topic like we've been given throughout high school. Now hopefully Mrs. Stariha and Mrs. Krelick liked it as much as you guys did. Now it's time for the Senior Portfolios and I'm nervous again! This class defiantly keeps me on my toes! But now I'm on my fourth day being sick, I think all this work is causing my immune system to fail!! *cough cough* A break would be nice sooner or later! :D

I'm off to chug DayQuil and not leave my bed until the morning. :)
(3/3) awesome.

Now, I'm off to write my introduction letter. (:
