Your To-Do List for Wednesday

Howdy! Here's your official to-do list for today:

1. Post your responses to at least three of the questions above. Make sure your answers are well-developed and written in detailed sentences that use good grammar.
2. If you have extra time, you should continue to post until the end of class.

Remember - this postings are taking the place of regular comprehension questions. I don't accept incomplete sentences with no capitalization and lots of grammar errors. You won't be receiving credit for you post, if you can't write your response properly. Understand?

Instructions for Today

Hey everyone! Your instructions for today: watch the YouTube video and post to today's questions. If you have time, go back to the posts from last class. Reread and then make additional comments.

Remember to follow all the behavior expectations that we talked about earlier!! Have a great day :)
