Chapter Review Extra Credit

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

One of your amazing peers came up with a cool idea for the Chapter Review Presentations.  If you come in costumed attire relative to the time period that you are presenting on, you can earn up to 20 extra credit points.  It must be related to the topic you are presenting and it must be appropriate.  Talk to me about details and ideas if you are unsure.  Good luck today and Friday on the Final Exam!

Live long and prosper,

Mr. Marchetti
