Important Points about the Brochure Project:
-- If you did not finish or if you are absent today, you should
turn this in by Friday, April 26 (if you are back at at school).
-- Today is the only day class time will be provided to complete this assignment. Because you are to have already collected and written all information (you have had since March 28th to do so), the brochure should be easily completed within one class time.
-- Revision points will be given only if all parts are
included and all directions followed. -- No late work or revisions will be accepted after May 23. Do your best to get them done before that. |

Finish reading your individual book
