Now you know: Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2-6 years of age.

Speech: Final outlines should be close to completion. Today, we will discuss the use of visual aids. Be thinking about what you might like to use.

Sophomores: Bellringer 61. Yesterday, we learned how to use the "track changes" feature on Word to let others edit our documents. Some of you did not finish, so today, we will finish and turn in our Section 1 papers in this order:
Top: Proofreading sheet (the one where you put your most common mistakes)
Final draft
Old rough drafts
Any partner proofreading sheets
KWL chart
Next, we will go to the library to begin checking out books. Remember, Shawnee delivers only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you don't check out a book this week, it will be next Thursday before you get yours. Hurry! Also, be thinking about your interview.

Freshmen: Bellringer 61. Yesterday, we learned how to use the new grading program for our writing, Criterion Writing, to edit our papers. Most of us submitted our Section 1 papers to see what errors we had. Today, after a tour of the library, we will finish correcting our errors and submit our final draft as well as turn in a copy. The order, AFTER YOU HAVE SUBMITTED A COPY TO CRITERION WRITING, is as follows:
Top: Proofreading sheet (the one where you put your most common mistakes)
Final draft
Old rough drafts
Any partner proofreading sheets
KWL chart
After our library tour today, you need to begin checking out books for your topic ASAP. Shawnee delivers books only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so you need to hurry to get your book with plenty of time to read it.
