Announcements and Reminders:                            Your Movie Monomyth project is due on the 20th.  We will have work time with Chromebooks next class time.  If you haven't watched the video by then, you could still set up an outline (basic slides or pages) for your project. If you didn't finish or didn't do the Hero's Journey story on the template, see  the instructions and link here:  Friday, March 8, 2019. I truly enjoyed reading the Hero's Journey stories that were handed in!   Thank you!   Happy Pi Day!
