Homework #2 Can it be done?

Homework #2 Can it be done?
•What will the final product look like—text? images? size? format? length?
Reflectively Reenergize Your Teaching will be a short ebook of around 10,000 words. (Maybe also available in print on demand.) It will basically be text with perhaps a few illustrations/pictures to represent each of the attitudes.

•How much have I already written? How much is left to do?
•How much of the thinking/planning have I already done? How much is left to do?
The first/second draft is pretty much written. I have around 16,000 words which I need to trim down. (That includes about three versions of the introduction, so I think it’s possible.)
The main things to work on:
• Unify the tasks/activities so they are in the same format & similar in length.
• Make sure each section is about the same length.
o 6 attitudes x 1400 words = 8400 words
o introduction = 1200 words
o conclusion = 400 words

•When do I plan to write?
I’ll set aside time first thing in the morning as well as in the evening.

    You might want to post your three intros in our group and get people’s reactions.

    Sounds like a perfect project for this.

    Dorothy Zemach That's a great idea. Thank you. Here are the three versions - from shortest to longest. My main question(s) would be - which intro introduces the book clearly? Which makes you want to keep reading?

Hello everyone

Hello everyone, Almost everything has been finalised in my story. Only the info about the creators (Author and illustrator) is missing and I need to have a professional picture taken of me and my daughter, Evita (the illustrator), but I won't have the pic until mid November :(. Re the font type - I used Arial. Should I change to Times New Roman? I hope you can find a few minutes to write a comment on this almost-final draft of my story. I have a question: as you know Evita has done the illustrations, but the background was a bit greyish. I asked a graphic designer friend of mine to whiten the background for me and to do a few minor tweaks. I would like to ask her in the future to help me with the next books in the series, too. I like giving credit where the credit is due - where could I mention Stella's name? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i1oWSFC_8YNVQq0o9OyIj0wYQMGjDlh1

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill.

Hi all! I'm happy to report that my health is much improved. Thank goodness! Ain't nobody got time for being ill. So ... where is everybody? I know I extended the deadlines out to the end of October for people on the accomplishment track and the end of November for those working towards the distinction certificate... let's see some finished projects! :) Could the distinction people email me theirs separately? Either a .mobi or an .epub is fine. zemach@comcast.net is probably best. For the others, why not post here, and we can all give some congratulations and feedback? (Distinction people welcome to post theirs here as well, of course!)

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing.

It´s me again! I got enthusiastic and did almost the whole book. There are two or three pictures missing. I'd love to know your opinion about: *the whole thing, of course! *the two covers- do you like them? Which one most? *the font- is it clear? big enough? *the last page- is it clear that lights are off? *the line in the middle of some pages to separate different situations- any other idea? *the dialogues- is it clear enough who is talking? If Fluffy or his Mum? *any language mistake? Eager to read you all, especially Dorothy Zemach!!! https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton https://www.canva.com/design/DADFcVJg0dg/OHGA7qnG3hQA_uO99vRWsw/view?utm_content=DADFcVJg0dg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton
