Monday 4/13

Happy Monday everyone.

Hope you guys had a nice Spring Break week,  I know things are tough for everyone, so hang in there!  Today, I'm giving an extra day to finish the Sparta and Athens Adobe Spark Video.

Please let me know if anyone needs my help in finishing and also, make sure to be creative with different layouts/themes/music and be sure that your recording is OUTSTANDING, not simply reading your words robotically.  Make it awesome and TURN IN on EDMODO!!!  thanks, if you're done, feel free to read ahead in the book.
