Happy Brrr... Tuesday!!
 
 
Welcome to Finals Week Day 1!! First, please turn in ALL missing work. If you do please write me a note so that I check it.  Second, peer evaluations of Superperson monologues need to be completed and turned in to ME before you perform your monologue.  Monologue performances. You may use notecards or a piece of paper to help BUT no netbooks during your monologue.  Remember, the script is a formative grade, the peer evaluation is a formative grade and performance is a summative grade.
