Three students -- Rachel Barch, Rachel Schachtman, Ryan Watkins
I have handouts for you to give to the students. They are to work on these materials on the computers in back. They should sit side by side and consult as much as they wish while they do this work. Answers to the text-message project should be emailed to me at carolruthsings “at” gmail.com.
