We are starting a new unit on Media Literacy. I do not have a web page that explains the unit yet because I think I will do it a little differently from past years. I will get the assignment page up within a day or so. As soon as the unit is mapped out, I will begin grading the Earrings essays.

I assume you have seen your child's grade slips by now. Students must take care of the make-up work now because I will stop accepting the work soon.
