Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow!

Hi all! After this weekend, I believe the 6 more weeks of winter bit--we got well over a foot of snow! I hope you fared out better!

Your Freelance Writer assignments are due tonight by 8 with responses by 11:00 p.m. Here are a few things to remember:

• You declare 2 points for your responses, and I'll grade the rest tomorrow.
• Make sure your news article is a major part of your assignment. I was very lenient on this last time, and won't be this time. Be sure to include important details from the article, not just the headline information.
• Make sure your posts meets all of the assignment criteria.
• As usual, don't forget your substantive responses, and to proofread and spellcheck your post.
• You can also use the spellchecker in D2L to count the number of words in your post.

I'll be at the computer for most of the day, so let me know if you have questions!
