	HW This Week:  Prepare to do some of the storybook writing at home. You may need to e-mail your project to yourself, use a flash-drive, or simply do some writing in your composition notebook.	* Students should be finished with rough drafts and authors’ notes by the end of class today.  I will check these at the start of class tomorrow.	à	**Students should take home materials to finish this project over the weekend if needed. I will be available before school and at lunch, but there will be no more class time devoted to this project.
