Summary Document and Publishing, Cont.

Reminder:
Your NaNoWriMo Summary Document is due tomorrow, Wednesday, December 17th. You will no longer have access to it on Thursday. Finish ALL of the parts!


The agenda:

1. Read
2. Please fill out this form if you haven't already (The password is "publish.")
3. Finish your summary document (ALL OF IT)
4. Work on your publishing option (You need yesterday's post.)

If you are using TeenInk or other social media to publish:

• You must take a screenshot of your submission using the "snipping tool" on your computer.
• Your name must be in the screenshot. (If you're using TeenInk, it will be on the top right corner, so make sure you take a screenshot of the whole page.)
• Email that screenshot to me. 
• You must email that screenshot to me by Friday, December 19

PUBLISHING!

There are numerous things we have to do this week before we leave for break. Some of it we'll do in class. Some of it will have to be done at home. Here's the run-down:

1. Finish the summary document (all of it). It's due this Wednesday. Look at the post from last Wednesday for definitions and models.
2. Get your novels ready for publication AND publish it in some way. (This is required!)
3. Make sure you have a book (or two. or three.) that you will like and enjoy reading over break. Click here for recommendations from last year's 9th-graders.
