Tuesday and Wednesday we are going to be presenting our projects. If your project is finished make sure you have already copied and pasted it into the Students>Osborne>Your Hour>Middle East PowerPoint folder.

I will give you about 10 minutes to get things in order before we start presentations.

Today is the final day to work on your PowerPoint. Whenever you are finished I want you to copy the file from your H Drive and paste it in  Students>Osborne>Your Hr>Middle East PowerPoint. I want everyone’s project in this folder so they are all in one place. It’ll make presentations go faster.

1. Homework from another class

2. Read a book

-Survey

-Developed/Developing Excel

-Islam Basics

-Middle Eastern Scavenger Hunt

You can log-in to Infinite Campus to see what your grades on these assignments are. If there is no grade listed for you on an assignment, that means I never received it. If you have never logged into Infinite Campus, open your planner to page 26 and the directions are there. If you follow the instructions from the planner, but you can’t log onto Infinite Campus I can’t help you. You will need to check with the counselor’s office to see why your log-in doesn’t work.

Whenever you have all assignments turned in:

-Work on homework from another class.
