Today was your LAST class day in the library.  You have a pink worksheet that will be checked on Friday, November 21st in class during our last class period before the projects are due and the presentations start on Tuesday, November 25th.  Remember if you want to turn in your project early you can do so on Friday as well - you'll earn 10 bonus points.  Otherwise all projects are due on the day of your presentation.  Please refer to the blog post from el 10 de noviembre if you forgot what day you're presenting.

Friday's class period will be spent working on final projects, creating question sheets for presentations, writing note cards and practicing for your presentations.

Choose TWO supplementary questions for your person to research.  Please write these two questions in PENCIL on the back of the presentation Rubric for the project.  That way if you change your mind after you begin your research, you'll be able to change them easily. 

Below are various links to the project paperwork.  Please be aware of deadlines and due dates for the pieces of the project.  You may print additional copies from this page of any paper you misplace.
