My apologies...I woke up pretty sick. Today, please use the linked rubric to get at least two people to peer edit your annotations so that tonight you may print them for class tomorrow. This is a fantastic way to set your grade up for second quarter with a strong start in the essays/projects category. Get'er done! Then, get the vocab below into your notebook and start reading Ch.8. Please come tomorrow with a printed Works Cited and a completed chapter 8 in your mind! See you then.
