Friday work day

To begin the day off we started with Andrews class and discussing what we would be doing. Luckily we got a chance to do some building on according that next Thursday we would be doing our first trial run so we needed all the time that we could get to get some building done. Andrew said that on Monday we would get both of the periods to work on our prototypes. On Thursday we were assigned to look up peoples names who were assigned to us. We were allowed to work on that or to continue working on our prototype during second period in his class. We got the majority of the cutting done that we had to for the sides, back part, and the holding tank done. We still have quite a bit of work on our hands still, but I think that if we work really hard we should have no problem getting the prototype done by the due date for it.
In Spencer's on Friday we started off by doing a second draft on our papers that we had written and already peer critiqued the week before. We would pass our papers to two different people so we would get twice the amount of feedback on what they thought while reading our papers. Once we got back the papers we stapled on the sheets that the people had written on and filled them out, and we would staple our first and second draft. These would be graded as if they were finals but would be able to get another chance to re write them if we didn’t like the first grade we got. After we finished that we got into our book club groups, and we began to talk about the sheets that we had filled out. We discussed what pages we were going to read up to for our next book club meeting. More towards the ending of class we were assigned to do a slide show project on our country. We were given a small piece of paper describing what had to be on the slide show. Over the weekend we had to research those topics on what was on the paper.
