Down to the Wire!

I see many of you already have submitted your essays and can relax in the knowledge that you're finished. Bravo! A quick glance at my email inbox this morning showed that a few of you still have a little work to do--happy writing!

I wanted to let you know that I do not know how much access I'll have to email before the submission time. I will definitely be checking and answering emails from my phone, but I will not have access to send you any documents you might need, including the summer homework packet. Since most of the questions I have received in the last few days have concerned signing up for Turn It In, I've included the directions below. If you still need to sign up for blogger, I will try to get you set up as an author; however, if you do not hear back from me, you DO still need to go ahead and post. You can comment on any established post on the blog; without authorial privileges you just can't create your own new posts.

Best of luck! I look forward to seeing you all in a few weeks. Enjoy these last couple (Summer Homework Free--woo hoo!) weeks of vacation!

Also, if you have any questions about the homework, feel free to post them here! Your classmates are excellent resources :)
