le 17 decembre

All of the rough drafts MUST be handed to me no later than tomorrow in order for them to be accepted at all. This includes the 3 paragraphs that we have been working on for the past two weeks. If you are still unclear, check the blogs for the past few weeks, and see if that helps.

I will not find you! You will need to look for me tomorrow and get the work in before you leave.

Bonnes Vacances!!!
