Today was the second of three classes students have to create their own continent using the mapping skills and knowledge we learned about this week. Progress appears to be excellent but this assignment is due no later than Monday at the end of the school day. Sorry, no extensions will be possible as Tuesday Ms. McCall is back.

The final task for today was to write a backstory for one of the minor characters from The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Consider characters like Mr. P or Eugene or Roger.
