Storybook stack. There are still quite a few assignments in the Storybook stack. If you turned in your assignment before 10PM on Sunday, you should have comments back from me now. Assignments turned in later on Sunday or on Monday or on Tuesday are probably still in the stack. You can check the contents of the stack to make sure I have received your assignment. If the points you will be getting for the Storybook assignment(s) you have turned in will give you the points you need for your final grade in the class, send me a separate note to let me know and I'll move your assignments to the top of the stack.
Grading and points. (repeat announcement) As you can see in the Grading Information page, you need 410 to get an A, 360 points to get a B, and 320 points to get a C. When you get the number of points you need, you are done! It is fine with me if you decide to stop doing work for the class whenever you have the grade you want to receive. My only request is that you please let me know when you are done so I can adjust the comment assignments accordingly!
November 10: Neil Gaiman. Today marks the birthday in 1960 of the genius writer, Neil Gaiman. What an amazing artist! I'm not a person who is usually intimidated by other people's achievements but here is this guy, just turning 50 years old this year, and he's written whole bookshelves full of books and comic books and screenplays. Simply astounding - how does he do it all??? You can find out about Neil Gaiman's life and career in this Wikipedia article. My very favorite of all his books is American Gods - it is one of the most ingenious adaptations of traditional legends and myths that you will ever read! Happy birthday, Neil Gaiman!
