2. Outline. - When you've made some research progress, you should write an outline in English.

Tarea Requerida

You have required homework to do every night this week! There are 2 significant deadlines and I am giving you all of the class time to accomplish them, but that doesn't mean that you're off the hook at home. Please take this step seriously so you can produce strong first drafts for me to review over Thanksgiving break.

Gracias!
Becca

ANNOUNCEMENT RE: RESEARCH & INTERNET!

Hi Students:

I am posting this on the off chance that some of you check my DP before class on Monday. I am encouraging you all to cut and paste the lyrics to the corrido you are studying along w/ the content of web pages that have useful information for research into WORD DOCUMENTS. Alternatively, you could preload a bunch of tabs. This will facilitate forward motion on Monday if the internet is not working or is slow. 

Also, if you read this, please spread the word to your compañeros de clase. 

Gracias,
Becca
