    Hi Michelle. I think you chose to write a book on the 4 seasons. What do you want to do your book on now? If your new topic is appropriate, and you still want to change your topic at this late date, you may do so, but only if you catch up on the research and the paraphrasing. Let me know what you decide.

    A children's book on starfish sounds like it could be very interesting. Good luck with the research! See you Tuesday.
