Book getting finalized

On Monday, November 12 all students should have shared their story for our anthology titled Falling from the Flames with Mr. Davidge via google to his google address (jcdavidge@educbe.ca).  On that day, Mr. Davidge will be starting to copy stories into the publishing file (that students don't have direct access to) and will begin editing for publication.

Cover artists should have their final image to Mr. Davidge by Monday, November 19. Be sure to have room for the title (but don't put in the title). Dimensions should be 6x9 and any digital images shared should be 300 dpi (dots per inch).
