Announcements and Reminders:                           Pick up your composition book each time before class, and return it to the crate or drawer at the end of class.  If you brought your composition book, make sure you have your name and period on the front,  then add your folder/computer number to the front.  You will use it today, then leave it in your hanging folder in either the black crate or the drawer for your class.    If you haven't yet, number the pages, front and back.   I am not checking the folders for new composition books, so if you have brought yours late, you'll need to make sure I get a chance to record it.  Great News!

BioPoem or Tinder -- Choose one. ●      Have you heard of Tinder?   It’s a dating app where you can make a profile and then you are presented with pictures of people in your area.  You swipe left or right depending on if you think they’re attractive.  If you mark someone as attractive and that person also marks you as attractive, you’re a match and you can chat with them to set up a date. Or, create a bio-poem about one of the gods.   ○      Today, you are going to create a Tinder profile for one of the 14 major gods ○      Receive a piece of  paper ○      See  examples ○      Go over directions ○      Stay school appropriate ○      Use time to work               Write legibly.  You will be judged by your peers.  ○     We will post the best stuff.
