-the rest of the period was left for students to work on their interview summary and get corrections; if finished before the end of the period, students were able to hand in their assignment early (otherwise, have it ready to hand in next class)

Homework for Nov 29

-we continued with the interviews; there are still a couple more in each class that need to be complete next day
-I went over the criteria for the summary; you are welcome to wait until tomorrow to write it in class or you can work on it at home and get corrections next day

Homework for Nov 28

-the interview task began today; we will hopefully conclude them next class
-for those that completed their interviews, you are welcome to get started with your summary 

Homework for Nov 27

-corrections were provided for those who still needed them for their interview responses
-Mme Zakus verified that each person had their questions on one sheet and their answers on another sheet (they must be separate in order for me to credit you as not referring to your notes when responding to questions)
-some students were able to have a practice session with Mme; everyone else practiced 
-be ready for the interview task next day!

Suggested binder organization

Having your binder organized into different sections will make it easier for you to quickly locate different handouts or notes from class. Here is a suggestion for this class:

-Cahier: have one section specifically for your workbooks which you will receive over the year
-Notes: this will be for any notes that I give you in class on the whiteboard or the overhead projector
-PowerPoints: I will be giving you a few PPTs over the year, and you can keep them all together here
-Handouts: For any and all handouts you receive in class.
-Assignments: For smaller projects/assignments that I return to you and for assignments that need to be handed in
