We have to finish the Satire Projects tomorrow, so if you are not able to go or absent tomorrow, then you will have to present to me on your own time--if you want a grade that is:)

SPEAKING OF GRADES, THE AP CLASS BOOK IS A PARTICIPATION GRADE AND ALSO SOMETHING NICE TO REFLECT BACK ON WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND YOUR MEMORIES ARE SHOT:), SO GET THAT INFORMATION IN TO COLLYN NO LATER THAN TONIGHT. THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO NOT GET THAT IN WHEN YOU'RE NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR READING HOMEWORK DURING PRESENTATION TIME. AM I RIGHT?
