Political Leader Project

Hey everyone...

I wanted to remind you about the rubric for your project (posted below). BE SURE TO ATTACH THE RUBRIC TO YOUR ESSAY! You will turn in your paper tomorrow and be selected at random to present.

Also, if you need to bring your posters to class during homeroom, you are welcome to leave them in the back.

Be remember that your powerpoint MUST work at the time of your presentation. Email it to yourself as a back up. IT MUST BE ON A USB. I don't have internet access in my room anymore, so it is up to you to get uploaded.


Be well and I am looking forward to your projects!
