GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS?!?!?!?!
Hump Day. Wednesday. And, of course, another Graphic Novel Day!
To start today, we will direct your attention to your project checklist, so that you can see what requirements you have and have not met already. Then, using the rubric, I want you to determine what grade you would have based on where you are now.
After we do this warm-up, you'll be set free to work, work, work. By the end of class today, you should know 3 exact things you have to do tomorrow to finish your project. Hopefully these will be trace, color, and finish the cover page. Due on Friday!! If you have question
