Change of plans guys :/ My camera turned off for part of the lesson and everything just felt too rushed; I don't want you to have to turn your projects in before you're ready so here's what we'll do. Today is a work day, finish as much as you can. Next class we'll have meetings to go over your project against the rubric and provide feedback you can fix up before turning it in for good. That way, you're not stressed and I can film what I need to film.
