Possible Assignment

Today (Wednesday, November 27th), we worked on an in class assignment called "Art and Percent Activity."  If you did not finish in class today, the assignment is due Friday, December 6th.  Keep in mind, this is the Friday you return from Thanksgiving break, so you do not have to work on it over break; you will have a couple of nights when you return.  It is worth 5 points.
