VIEWING

Due by 11:30 AM (EST).

As we reach the end of our textbook, Shelmerdine packs a lot of material in, some of it new, some of it review. The above video covers one of the new concepts, and does some productive review of indirect statements, commands, and questions, so it’s well worth your time.

As usual, bring any questions to class, or ask them via the group email list.
