       Screencastify.
(Screencastify is a chrome extension that we are using to record ourselves reading the poems.)
     -If you have a Mac you will need to download the Chrome browser.
     -Once you have captured your poem, link it to the picture on the main document with all of the
       pictures
     -If you have any questions about recording, email Ms. Levesque at dlevesque@lps.k12.co.us
     -To make your poem and artwork fit on one screen, create a table by going to the table menu on  
       Google docs, then table properties and then use table border.

Ms. Smith wrote on the board:

1. Build presentation (or doc) with your poem and picture
2. SnagIt / Screencastify  (use poem handout for extension)
3. Record over presentation
4. Once all done go to Art Work Final product page.

We checked in our books - LB and 1984. Be sure to get your books back to Smith soon, if possible.
Then we did some really quick grammar. Both sentences are simple sentences with only one independent clause.

After this we split into 3 groups. One for people who still needed to work on their essay, one for those working on their websites, and another for those who wanted feedback on their websites. Essays need to be posted before class on Wednesday. Double check to makes sure that yours is linked correctly!

Wednesday and Thursday will be creative days. I'm sure we'll all be grateful for the break!
