We also started thinking about our cultural icon topic selection.  Think about this for Friday.

Assignment: Get parent signature on plagiarism contract and return it Friday. August 19, 2016.  Be sure that you talk to your parents about the information we covered in class today so that they know what the contract states. 

Friday: Introduction Presentations and Cultural Icon Paper

Today, everyone made their introduction to the class and to me.  Thanks for that.  I have a pretty good idea of where we are at and can start planning how to move forward from here.

I asked that you turn in your plagiarism contract– if you did not have it bring it next class!

We discussed the cultural icon assignment and everyone is to select a topic.  Please meet in the high school IT lab on the third floor for class on August 23.  NOT IN 501I!!

Assignment: Figure out your topic for the cultural icon writing assignment.

Assignment: Get your book for the free reading project-  you need to complete 3 assignments by next Friday.  When you do them is up to you.  I suggest you don’t leave it for the evening before!
