In honor of St. Patrick's Day
The homework they contain
May be kind of a pain
But at least it won't take you all day.
JC has a Cyber Day rule
When it snows, we still "attend" school.
Just fill in all the blanks
And then offer up thanks
You won't be considered a fool.
You must write in sentences complete.
(Yes, it's longer than your basic tweet.)
To your blog you will transfer
Every one of your answers.
Then go get yourself something to eat.
Now, in prose: Answer the following questions in complete sentences. Write the answers in your blog, and post it by the end of the day. Hopefully we'll all be together tomorrow! Enjoy your Cyber Day!
Update: Future lawyer Maddie points out that Section 3 does not have class today, and asks if they have to do this assignment. Technically,
you do not have to do the assignment today, since we don’t have class.
But just to keep things fair, I am going to give your section the same
assignment tomorrow. So if you want to get a head start on it today, go
for it. Thanks, Maddie!
