If you were absent for the presentation today, please get notes from the journal of a friend, as Ms. Lalonde spoke today about a lot of great things we need to know as we move forward in the unit.

You should be able to answer the questions below even if you were not here if you check in with a person from class, as I wrote the notes on the board for everyone, and we went over it together after the presentation, as well. Let me know if you don’t understand a question or need help.
