Last year more than 180 seniors did NOT get their picture in the yearbook. If you didn’t get your picture taken over the summer, you MUST get your photo taken by David Bank Studios. We DO NOT use the Lifetouch photos. A photographer will be here during ALL LUNCHES on Friday, September 19 - it’s the last chance you have to be included in the yearbook! Reminder

You will come to class tomorrow (you might be able to get this done today) with your own 3x3 for your group’s section. I will check these off. Don’t be the weak link in the group. Not doing your homework will affect your final grade. Homework

These are a series of questions you can use to help you as you review your section. I would suggest spending some time discussing your section FIRST before tackling anything about theme. It would be a good idea to make sure everyone is on the same page! Signpost bookmark

Before you get started, I would review your section of the book. Answer the signpost questions and jot down notes and page numbers. You will need this eventually. EACH group member is to create THEIR OWN 3x3 for your group’s section. One set is fine, but I would come up with a few to work with. Tomorrow you will share your 3x3 and work on theme statements. Homework…ready, set, go
