Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. I don't update the Project stack as often on the weekends, but you can check there to make sure I received your assignment; I'll update it at least once or twice over the weekend. If you want comments back on your assignment sooner rather than later, don't wait until Sunday evening! If you turn in your Storybook today or on Sunday morning, you will get comments back much sooner than if you wait until Sunday evening.
