Day 73 (A) & 74 (B)-NC Family Emergency

Hello all! Unfortunately I have had to go to NC due to a health incident with my dad’s diabetes that sent him to the ER on Thanksgiving Day. He is ok, I am working through getting him the best possible care before I return to school on Wednesday. It is such a surprise when your parents get to the age where you are taking care of them! 🥹

To keep the Mid-Term Magazines Rolling, on Monday the following needs to happen:

  1. Create 3 Magazine Publishing Teams-should be 5 people each, mix boys and girls, I trust ya’ll can handle that as it is your mid-term, choose wisely. I need ONE person from the Team to REPLY HERE and let me know the people in the group and the name of the Publication.
  2. As a Team-Create your POLL so that we can post the QRs around school for people to complete them. This should be a NEW creative topic BEYOND what each person created before. A DIFFERENT person should REPLY HERE with the link to the poll.
  3. Review the attachments as a team, discuss positions & article topics. I should have paper copies of these files delivered to you, but if not, the TEAM LEADER, Download the GROUPS & the PLANNING Documents from here, share to your group members AND ME and fill them out. YOU GOT THIS!!
