Creative piece due next Friday!

I entered a temporary grade on the HAC to show if the 200 word piece was handed in on-time.  Since that category is 40% of the grade, if the piece is missing, the effect on the grade is big.  

Today:
I showed the students the spotlights that I have in my room.  Next Friday, they will get their two minutes in the spotlight as they present their piece to the class.  It should be a good time... for those who like that kind of thing.  For others, it will be painful.  But I intend to make the process a class-building activity where we come together for each other in support!  Well, that's what I hope.  Heck, I have to write something myself. 

I hope to grade the 200 word pieces within a week.
