Thursday
Don't forget:
We're meeting in the small classroom. Bring a rough draft of your paper (3-5 pages)! If you don't bring a rough draft, you will be marked as absent. Also: we'll be catching up on songs and what-not. Review your syllabus and see if you should have presented anything on a day we missed class, if so, then be prepared to present on Thursday.
