Today I collected the continuum and we moved around the room in the real continuum.
We read half of Act II. Homework: Journal #2 Remember one page double spaced typed. If you can't fill up a whole page with one question, answer both questions. No computer excuses. If your printer is not working, you are out of ink or paper, etc. e-mail me your paper (sasseg@district279.org) or save it on a flashdrive and print it out in the library when you get to school.
We filled in more questions on the study guide and the allusion sheet.
