Author of the Day Project

Attention all Gifted sophomores! Starting next week, you will be responsible for presenting Author of the Day. I will pass around a sign-up sheet tomorrow and Thursday for you to peruse; each date will have an author's name next to it. You will need to prepare a short talk on that author and a visual aid to show the class.
