06.01 - Grade Reports and Revisions

At the beginning of class today, I handed out update grade report sheets and returned the debate observation work that people completed last week for the debate in Ms. Gervais' class on women in military combat roles.

Everyone had the rest of the period to work on revising these debate sheets and revising or completing their essay on a problem that affects our community (resources below). I was on hand to meet individually with people and respond to questions or provide guidance on these assignments.
