You started this blog really well. It's artistic and I see that you put a lot of effort into it. However, you stop at chapter 2. We are on ch. 8 with ch. 9 being assigned for h.w. tomorrow!
You have to catch up. At least start with the newer chapters and go back to the previous ones. USe class time to read if you need to. This project is quite do-able.
Your grade: F
