ABUSE OF POWER

Read Self-selected Novels

Evidence of Learning Document–Make a copy and add it to your ENG3C folder. Share your copy of the document with me via the Assignment Submission page. Begin to work on completing the document at home or in homeroom. You will have classtime to work on it from June 4 – 8 (when it is due). If you plan on being away that week or if you need to complete many items, then working on the document ahead of time will be necessary. The evidence of learning document represents 70% of the course mark.
