Today we aquired news about a new extra credit opportunity. If we change our avatar picture to something related to World War II we get 5 bonus points, and if Mr. Bruns can't guess what it is we get 3 more extra credit points. It doesn't have to be a person, either. Our blog assignment is to watch another WWII movie and do a blog over it. We went over the powerpoint some more as well!
