Mrs. Terry,
ReplyDeleteFor the Odyssey i have finished my essay and have turned it in by the post date. Today i went to review my partner's essay and i did review Lucy's but Dylan's was not there and i just wanted to make sure that you said i could review anyone in my 5th period class. i am worried that this will hurt my grade.
I emailed you back.
ReplyDeletesorry about that i just wanted to make sure. thank you ma'am!!!
ReplyDeleteMs. Terry, i tried visiting both websites for the web quest and they could not come through on my computer. I tried my mom's computer and it still didn't work. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for just reading this message. I did not get home until much later yesterday and went straight to bed. If you still have not done your homework because it won't work on your computer,I'll send you to the library during 7th period today and you can do it there. Or you can try the library at lunch time.
