You are only responsible for attending during your assigned time (see below for schedule); however, I have reserved a computer lab in the library for class use from 3:30-4:45pm each day so that you may continue to work on your project and/or Blog #8 (due Nov. 26) during class time. Please be prompt and bring your revised draft, works cited page, and outline with you to our meeting. You should also start to think about how you will present this material to the class for your final grade. Powerpoint, visual aids, web/video, handouts, etc. are strongly encouraged.
