Besides the museum work...
I will accept a movie review from any student. It must follow directions, you must
watch a film on the list, and you must type your review....follow guidelines.
To be fair: If you already completed one on time, I will allow you to do a second film
review on the Holocaust....ONLY IF YOU HANDED IN THE FIRST ONE ON TIME!!!
ENJOY your vacation and your work!
