Where's November Going??

So time is flying and I can't believe I'm mostly on top of things. Last week ended in disaster in terms of storing data because period 7's computers all crashed so I had to pull the score off their machines and enter the score on the first question line. Which means everybody got a 3 billion percent on question 1 and nothing on the rest. Brutal. I'll try to compile the stats later today, but I'm really busy. Here's the gist - I've assigned the projects, made a sample, created storyboards, run the most successful fall blood drive in school history, started Speak, and set up a schedule for the rest of November. We're marching on with vocab, phrases this week in grammar (clauses next week, compound/complex etc after that), Speak chapter 3 is tomorrow along with an end of the week quiz. This week is for storyboarding - next week is for how to create the project and getting started. I'm just really busy. Later today I need to create a Camtasia video for students making the project and a list of resources that students can use to find sound effects, music, and images. Everything has to be done by the end of the month. December and January are for Of Mice and Men and Heroes. Crazy!
So off to camtasia. Also, the library just got a Flip video which I've got to experiment with. I'll attach the video sample of the project. But it takes up a lot of space, so I don't know if I'm allowed to.
