Week 34: April 21-25, 2025 Monday-Friday

***NOTE: This week is mostly about students presenting their student interest projects each day. I suspect we will get through about 4-5 students each day.
 
The format for this week will be:
 
Start of class: week 34 Language Practice
Followed by student presentations 3-5 minutes for each presentation
 
If a student is not able to present when it's their turn they are given a 10% penalty and allowed to present the next day. If the next day comes around and they are still not ready, they will be given a zero on their project.
 
***Students have had three weeks to work on this project.***
 

Week 33: April 14-18, 2025 Monday-Friday

**An important note: We use a class magazine called SCOPE. Students can access this magazine digitally at home. I will post the link and password here.***
