Monday, Sept 27: denote and connote

 Housekeeping: Pease make sure you keep up with your assignments. If there is a ZERO, that means I did not receive the work.  Remember that we are using a class blog. You can always copy and paste work from the blog onto a google document and share with me. Don't forget to give sharing permission!

Remember that if you have an illegal absence, your work is considered late.

Missing work. You will see a zero as a holding place, until such time as you turn in your work for a maximum of 75 points.
