Today we completed our "Dear Abby" assignment. The students received letters from an anonymous member of the class and had to respond to them using characterization and the careful consideration of perspective.

Many students did an excellent job and finished in a timely matter. For students who did not finish due to an absence, I will allow students extra time to ask questions and complete the necessary work. For students who did not finish because they were not using their computer lab time wisely, they will now have these assignments as homework.
