Dear Class,
Please use your completed Record of Work to guide the homework you do. Everyone has the same basic tasks to complete. The new Lesson 3 items listed in the Record of Work should all be completed by next Tuesday, October 2. After Tuesday, I will review what you have done for grading. As usual, lesson materials and links to websites are in the Web Box on the Homepage.
I look forward to seeing you next week.
Owen.
