Autobiographical Incident

UNIT

Today’s Goal:--to make some decisions about your story --to complete a story map worth 5 points

Re-cap: Yesterday’s Video

Why a video?--You can privately view wherever and whenever you want--You can work at your own pace without having to tell me to speed up or slow down--You can stop, pause, rewind, and fast forward material so that you can examine things in your own way--It frees up class time to actually DO things as opposed to just sitting and listening

I see that 93 people watched the video. Great job!

Green check if you watched.
