Now that your do now is complete (getting here), follow the steps below to complete your classwork.

3A. In the "To" line type in my email address: [email protected].
3B. In the subject line, write a professional subject. Examples of good subjects include:
"I created my gmail!"
"I can't wait to use my gmail in class."
"I look forward to submitting work with gmail."
"I am made of 10 trillion cells. Oh, and I created a gmail account."
4. Now you are going to write a professional email. While email does not need to be as formal as an on paper letter, your emails should still sound as professional as you want to be perceived.
4A. To start out, who are you writing to? (Mr. Witsil) So, how should you address the email?
4B. Then, you have a choice of several writing topics below. Whichever topic you choose, you must write a hamburger paragraph, including an introductory or thesis sentence, three or more detail sentences, and a concluding sentence.
Writing Topics:
(a) How has technology made your life better?
(b) How have advances in medicine made your life better?
(c) What are your plans for thanksgiving?
Finished? For extra credit, email a reflection (at least 10 sentences) expressing what any of the resources below make you think or wonder about or what you learn from the resources. Choose from any of the resources below:

- Here is a link to the Census of Marine Life, the largest study of oceanic organisms ever. Hint: you have to poke around the site.
- Here is an article about a planet that is 170 million light years away orbiting a very young star that we can see in the night sky without a telescope. This planet is 12.8 times bigger than the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter.
