7th Grade Behind the scenes :)
Great work job so far!
Now we will begin creating short PowerPoints to teach our classmates what we learned.
It is important to know that Mrs Sawyer will give you a quiz covering the presentations, so make sure you are paying attention during the various presentations.
First steps
You and your partners will create a Powerpoint. For now, use the default template. In other words, don't worry about choosing a design, changing the text/ colors, adding animations, or transitions. Today's directions should not take you long to complete, as you have already done the work.
Please find your group's assignment and begin work. You will have 1/2 an hr to complete this assignment. Save your work under the file Sawyer 2017-2018.

“The morning was dark and gloomy; clouds hung in the sky, as if portending some great disaster.

16 "How do you do, Mr. Douglass? A fearful jam tonight. You are going in, of course?"
17 "No—that is, no to your last question."
18 "Not going in to shake the President by the hand! Why, pray?"
19 "The best reason in the world. Strict orders have been issued not to admit people of color."
