Bryony Richards, a photographer in the U.S., took this photograph of the core of the Milky Way Galaxy just before dawn in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.

PART I: I have been marking the essays you wrote about going to an art exhibit. First, I was surprised at how many students have not been to an art exhibit. Second, I have corrected a lot of run-on sentences and sentence splices. We will practice this for homework. Do page 143 in your Top Notch textbook, take a photograph of 143, and send it to me at pcowsill@gmail.com and I will give you a 10/10 grade. Remember to put your name and the time of your class in the subject of the email. Thanks. 

PART II: Do page 111 in your Top Notch textbook. Take a photograph and send it to me. I will give you another 10/10 grade.
