Today we selected our paragraph to hand in. We went through the CRISP editing steps. Please make sure you use the draft with my signature on it before you make a good copy at home. If you don't have a signature on your draft, I can't mark the good copy.

Homework: You can bring in the good copy tomorrow or Thursday. I know groups need a bit of extra time to practice and prepare so if you bring the good copy in on Thursday it won't be late.

Presentations are starting tomorrow. Be prepared!
