NOTE: This weekend I will be creating a file bundle in Dropbox.
That means that each of you will have a folder labeled
with your name and HE2. Inside that folder you will
find these folders: Five-Minute Writing, Polished Pieces,
Essays, Julius Caesar, To Kill a Mockingbird, Informational
Text, End of Course Exam, and Etcetera.
Monday we will begin class by moving your current
work into the new folders. Please do NOT freak out if
you notice your Dropbox changing. All files will be safe!
Task #1 -- Polished Piece #8
See today's Five-Minute Writing tab for instructions
Upload to Dropbox Polished Pieces Folder
Task #2 -- Infographic
Since the infographic websites are not working as planned,
you will need to find an alternative in which
you will present your 10 Julius Caesar Facts. The idea is
to put the text into a visual that stimulates and entices
the reader--be visually pleasing and informative.
