There will be three separate grades for this project: a process grade (work completed in class (are students using time wisely?), check in 4/27 and final grade 5/11. All students will need to turn in a final manuscript, but have a choice as to whether they'd like to formally "bind" it and add illustrations. I've been actively encouraging all students to do so.
