Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. If you turned in an assignment before 5PM on Sunday, you should have comments back from me now; if you turned in something later, it is probably still in the stack. You can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment, and I do my best each week to get through the whole stack by the end of the day on Friday. If you want comments from me before the weekend, make sure to get your assignment turned in by noon today.
Storytelling Style. It's Thursday, so I'm sharing another possible storytelling style if you're looking for a new idea: Diary Style ... a really fun and flexible style which offers lots of different diary options — and you can find more Storytelling ideas if you want to explore more possibilities.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
