Creating Fiction/Speech

We are fully back in swing on Classroom. Because this course is dual credit, we will move forward for the rest of the semester with online coursework. You will receive grades for all your work and the expectations will be similar; I am taking into account that this is new for all of us, so you will have more completion grades than normal which will help improve grades overall to your benefit, as long as you attempt to do the work. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to me. Hope you are doing well!! Miss you all!!!

3-16-20 Update:
As of now, we are operating under the Wabash CUSD 348 schedule of currently being out of school with no assessed work. However, it is likely that we will resume work next week per WVC's schedule so that you can still receive your dual credit. Stay tuned for more information on here and Classroom.

In the meantime, I encourage you to watch the various speeches given by the leaders at this time. We will likely have an assignment that correlates with those speeches.
