We will have an in-class bonfire (fireless of course) in which you will share your stories, just as the ancient Greeks did thousands of years ago. Presentations on Friday, Sept. 27th : Be prepared to present your story to the class. You will be judged on how well you remember your story, eye contact, a loud and clear voice, and animation (acting/ trying to make the story interesting) Guidelines can be found on the rubric provided.
