DEADLINES AHEAD

Hi All --

First thanks to almost everyone for meeting the December 17th deadline for submitting a draft of either entry 2 or entry 3!

January 7th is the next deadline for a more complete version of entry 2 or 3. Be sure that you are including very specific student quotes in the anlysis sections of these entries.

Also, be sure that you send your mentor any work that you send to me.

We meet next Thursday, Jan. 13th at Bluebonnet. Bring any applicable videos and 2 hard copies, correctly formatted, of your current entry.

Then, we meet again, on Jan. 27th, with your mentors. By then, you will need to have an initial draft of your third entry to share.
