• Tomorrow is your last day of class to film your Canada Documentaries. However, you may come early in the morning tomorrow or on Monday or stay Monday after school. I informed everyone the week prior to Spring Break when this is due, how much time you had left and when you could work outside of class time. Yet, very few of you have come in to do this. I really hope all of your filming is done.

• You must have your typed copy of your short story proof read and edited by a peer for Thursday’s class. For the majority of you this should not be a problem as you had all class to have someone look over your work; however, many of you were not prepared and therefore you will have to do this on your own time. On Thursday’s class we will have the laptops again and you will be taking your latest copy of your short story, with all of the corrections from the peer and individual proofreading, and editing, and making the final corrections to produce your finished product.
