Storybook Ballots: FINAL DAY. Today, Thursday, is your last chance to vote for your favorite Storybooks. Just like every semester, because all the Storybooks are so good, the votes are VERY close - so, if you haven't voted yet, please take a minute to do that: your vote could make the difference. You can see the nominees here for all three classes. The voting will go until 5PM today, Thursday, and I'll announce the results in Friday's announcements.
Storybook stack. I've still got a few Storybooks in the stack but I will definitely be able to get through those on Thursday - although it may not be until late Thursday afternoon since I will be out of the office for part of the day. Meanwhile, you can check the contents of the stack to make sure I have received your assignment.
Week 14 - Week 15 Storybooks. For the Week 14 and Week 15 Storybook assignments, you will be doing your final revisions; there are no new stories for Week 14 or Week 15. If you want, you can turn in both the Week 14 and Week 15 assignments at once. If you are turning in both assignments at the same time, please send in SEPARATE emails, so that I will be sure to realize that you are turning in two assignments at once. If you want your Storybook points in the Gradebook before the weekend, make sure you get those assignments turned in by Friday noon at the latest, so that I can read them on Friday afternoon and get the points recorded for you before the weekend.
December 3: International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The United Nations has declared December 3 to mark the observance of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities - the theme for 2009 is: "Empowerment of persons with disabilities" (you can also read about the themes for this day of observance over the past 11 years). You can learn more about the disability rights movement in this wikipedia article, which also lists additional resources.
