I started you off with daily questions to get you thinking - but as a CLASS we didn't answer them. I asked you to work within your group to see if you could start to do this on your own. I have told you before and will tell you again and again, Get comfortable with being a little confused. IT'S OK!!! Don't SETTLE (our motto for this year) for being confused though - work it out!!!!
Collaborate with each other and see what happens!!! Here were the questions and answers.
