Lines still need some work, they are way too wobbly in the ghosted lines exercises, try to take your time and draw them confidently. Ghosted planes are good, you missed the center of the planes in the first page but did it nicely in the second one. Superimposed lines will need work, give it some attention and it will improve.
Ellipses are actually pretty good, but you still need to keep the ellipses aligned with the minor axis. One trick that might help with ellipses is to make sure your forearm is aligned with the minor axis while you draw them.
Plotted perspective is good. Nice work with the rough perspective, it's easy to miss a lot in this one, also you managed to keep the width lines parallel to the horizon line and the height perpendicular to the horizon. The boxes in rotated boxes and organic perspective still needs a lot of work, but you will draw plenty in the 250 box challenge.
I was going to ask one more page of ghosted lines, but just make sure to give them some attention in your warmups, try to draw as many as you can in one page and you will improve a lot faster.
Have fun with the boxes.
Next Steps:
Proceed to the box challenge.

Okay, I'll practice more on the ghosted lines and superimposed lines. Thank you!

Ellipse Master Template
This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.
I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.
No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
