Storybook stack. There are still a few assignments in the Storybook stack. If you turned in your assignment on Monday before noon, you should have comments back from me now. Assignments turned in later on Monday or on Tuesday or Wednesday are probably still in the stack. You can check the contents of the stack to make sure I have received your assignment.

Thanksgiving break. Please check yesterday's announcements for information about how the week-long Thanksgiving break affects your Week 13 assignments schedule.
