Final Project: Presentation Dates

Presentation Dates From Today's Class--Be Sure to Look for your Class Period!!!!
Students must present on the date they are scheduled for, but do not have to present in the order they are listed for the presentation date. Please conference with other presenters to determine the order that you will present in on that day.

Your worksheet and presentation due dates mean that those items are due on that date DURING your class period. Items that are emailed or handed in AFTER your class period will be counted as late and you will lose points in that section of your rubric.
