Last Friday, I assigned a "good copy" of our letters. Good copies are due on Thursday. The second part of the project was either a poster or a digital poster. This is due on Friday. Many students have handed in their posters and many have finished their digital project. Students will be given a short time on Friday to put the final touches on their digital project before sharing with the class.
For this project I will be looking for students to work on Voice, Ideas, Conventions and Presentation. See the criteria sheet below.
