• AR
• speech work
• went over rubrics and had feedback
• If you have pretty much finished your speech, try to finalize it for next class so I can have a look and you can start preparing your cue cards. If not, the absolute deadline would be Friday. The sooner you have it done, the better. The later you turn it in, the less feedback you are likely to get.
