Your writer's notebook will be collected Tuesday. 

What should I have in my Writer's Notebook?

• Writing Prompts 1.1-1.8

How will my writer's notebook be graded?

• You will get a completion grade for including all the assignments and the content. 
• Each AOTW response should be at least ten sentences and reflect upon the article
• Each Writing Prompt should reflect effort. You typically have ten minutes to write in class, so each entry should be at least 8-10 sentences.
