5. Expectations
Unless you are working with me on your writing, you are working independently on the List of Tasks. When you are finished, complete the items on the “When you are finished” list. USE THIS TIME WELL!!! If it even seems like you are distracted (even if you are on topic), I will give you a verbal warning. This means no staring into your neighbor’s eyes, comparing suntans, other forms of non-verbal communication, etc. You may walk around to stretch your legs if you need to.
