Hi Everyone,
Due to an unexpected funeral for my good friend Graham Morris I will not be able to attend today. I was planning for a quiz, so let's go ahead with it anyway.
The rules are the same as always: You can use your book, notes, computer or the Internet but you are expected to do your own work. If I get two quizzes that are suspiciously similar, especially if they have the same wrong answers, then they will be graded accordingly.
Please create this as a Google Doc, type your answers in and share it to me at jim.pickrell@gmail.com
Alternately, if it is easier for you, you can create this as an email and send it to me. I would do the Google Doc because it is less likely to get erased while you work on it.
Good luck!

For 50 points, create a personality test on Playbuzz to answer the question "What historical personality were you in a previous life?" You should have pictures and at least 7 questions. Don't forget to have pictures. Different answers should get you different results, so don't set it up so that no matter what you say, you get the same historical figure. I want to see if you can really make this work.
You will receive 40 extra points if you complete and share or email this to me at jim.pickrell@gmail.com by the close of class at 4:15. You may find that you get more points by turning it in incomplete but getting it in on time. But if you have to take it home that is ok.
If you complete it by 1:45 Thursday (before the start of class) you will get 20 bonus points.
We will go of the time stamp on the email so get it in early!
