Assignment 3 of 5 (ongoing):
Make sure you turn in late Original Novel Openings. The description of the assignment is on Google Classroom, as are the criteria for success. Since this is a pass/no pass assignment and it's already late, it is important that you meet all the criteria so you get a 2.
Assignment 4 of 5 (ongoing):
If not already done, turn in your “Personal Insight Questions” response. Choose ONE of the eight questions posted to Google Classroom and write a thoughtful response to the question(s).
Thoughtful responses should be five sentences or half a page minimum (whichever ends up longer). Use examples from your personal life to build detail into your answer.
Write your response in your notebook and be ready to show them at the start of the next class.
