Extra Credit









I need Puritan bonnets for the females and Puritan hats for the men when we read The Crucible. I want 20 female and 10 male so everyone in the room will have a hat. You can make one or many out of material or construction paper or another way I have not thought of< but your creativity will think of.

Extra Credit

After the rules are selected for each class, students can turn in a violation form in a black box against other students who break one of the rules.
I need four volunteers (one per each hour 3-6) to make a black box about the size of a shoe box and mark it Hour 3 or Hour 4 or Hour 5 or Hour 6.
The first person to volunteer in each hour will be given 10 extra credit points when they bring the black box, which is due on Monday, January 14th.
