I. AW/Vocabulary Crossword. Partners.
II. 600 Words. First check: Next Tuesday. Keep handout inside folder. 600 NEW words are due each Tuesday. 

600 words/week = a novel in less than 2 1/2 years.

FAQ: 
Q: What if I forget the date? What if I write it on there now (as Mr. Coward is checking)? 
A: Ummm. You are out of luck. And...NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It still won't count. ANYTHING WITHOUT BOTH A TITLE AND A DATE WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

Q: What if I cry? 
A: The tissues are by the pencil machine.

Q: What if I forget? Can I make it up?
A: Not unless you can travel back in time. Once that week is gone, it's sort of difficult to write 600 words during that time. You could get the points back by writing 1000 words for four weeks. The +10 each week would bring you right back in only a month.

Q: What if I have to write an essay in science or social studies? Does that count? 
A: No.

Q: Does KBARR responding count? 
A: Read the handout again.
