  1. Begin working on the last assignment of the 4th 6 Weeks, which is 4.12: your Best Images presentation with your top 5 (or more) favorite images from your saved pictures folder (can be pictures, collages or artwork, like sumopaint or flamepainter).  Make sure you drag your presentation into your 103 folder so I can view it!
  2. Number the assignments in your 103 folder to match the list in your class period edit file (just rename the files with the number in front of the name).  For example, 4.1 is the 1st assignment of the 4th 6 weeks. Each assignment numbered correctly is worth 1 extra credit point toward your 4th 6 weeks grade!
