The list is there. You may want to right-click on it, save it to your desktop, then open it/save it - this seems to work if you have any trouble opening it.
  • Your Jour Du Souvenir project is due Friday, November 19. This Powerpoint assignment should be VERY respectful - don't forget that you need to write a letter to a soldier, prisoner or a victim of war (not just World War 2, you can use any war/conflict). What would you say to them? The letter must be set up to look like a REAL letter, and it MUST BE IN FRENCH!
