English 9- Today we read chapter 13 together in class of TKAM.  We then started sharing the claim off presentations for the week. If you did not go today, you will need to go tomorrow.

English 10- Today I went over the proficiency scale for the research paper presentations. Students also signed up for a presentation time. If you were absent, I assigned you a time. Presentation schedules will be posted in class. Here is the presentation proficiency scale for reference:



English 10 Presentation Proficiency Scale
