On Monday you will open up an email, addressed to me, with the subject Bell 1/9. You will write the question and your answer into the body of the email and then you will save it as a draft. Each day you will open up the draft message and write the question and your answer and then save it as a draft. On Friday, after you write the question and your answer, you will send me the email, and, voila, you're done with your Bell Activity for the week! As you're doing your Bell Activity, please feel free to personalize it with your own fonts, colors, and so forth. Just as long as I can read it! |
