Bonus Points
Watch for my American Flag tie. When I am wearing it that means that something important happened in American history on that day. The first student that correctly tells me why I am wearing the tie will win an extra bonus point. Each extra point can be redeemed for a missing current events homework.
Note: You cannot simply point out that I am wearing the tie. You have to correctly identify the important historical event that occurred on that day.
