You have 10 minutes to finish up yesterday's assignments. Make sure you have both posts made to your blog at the end of 10 minutes.

We will start presentations in about 15 minutes or so.

Make sure you are prepared and know what to do and say. I suggest you look over the presentation rubric (link) listed in yesterday's post.
