Yay! It's Friday! Well, today in class we watched The Chosen background presentations. Since I can't figure out how to add a link to a document onto blogger and the help page doen't tell you, I've just put the notes to from the presentations below. Just copy and past them onto a word document and save to your computer to review them later. Also, remember that your This I Believe Essays need to be submitted by the 19th (that's Monday) and the podcasts must be submitted by the 26th (the Monday after that). finaly the 10th SAT quiz is a take-home quiz so don't forget.
