Well, I got picked, but I will not be here tomorrow (TopSail) so I will be presenting on Friday unless I am replaced as presenter of my BLOG.
Sebastian, sorry, but you're next.

We are doing something with our portfolios now.

The school play has been confirmed for February 7th and 8th. Until then, for those absent folks who missed the announcements, the quad is off-limits.

Now, after a reminder that early missed assignments can wreck your grade, we return our portfolio.

A visitor arrives with our individual graduation plan.

Correction, a letter about it.

No, I think it's the first one.

Make that, our grades and a space for us to fill in our plan.

Anyway, you get the idea.

Now we get to The Book Thief. 

It's one of her favorite parts.

WWII starts, so Death is busy.

Liesel is moved up to her year in class, but her reading is still poor, and she often gets "a good hiding."

She gets up for a reading test, when she balks, recites from The Gravedigger's Handbook, and gets caught.

She gets teased by another student, who she beats to a pulp. Apparently, Ms. Nakada likes fictional fighting. When caught, she is given "the mother of all Watschens," or hiding, or beating.

Later, Liesel breaks down, and Rudy comforts her.

That is the end of Part One.

Four minute warning.

Time for Cornell Notes :^)

Three Minutes.

Bye.
