Extra Credit…. Read and write a summary 5 points

Since we are studying France, tell me what contributions Marquis de Lafayette played in the American Revolution.  Also, what gift did France give to America?

What’s going on in Greece these days?

 I received BREAKING NEWS from Greece this week.  If anyone can give me a summary of what’s going on I’ll give you 10 extra credit points.

Make sure you check your grade portal to see what assignments you are missing. Progress reports are going home Friday 2.24.12.  Also, I rescheduled the chapter 11 test for tomorrow. We are reviewing in class today. This test will not be graded in time to reflect progress reports.
