This is the last week of the 12-week grading period. I will figure your grades next Tuesday, April 19, based on assignments due through April 17 (M7-7 for Grade 10 and M7-6 for Grades 11-12). So, please get everything in by next Monday night. You can still work on Module 6 assignments (for half-credit) through May 1.
If you’d like 5 points of extra credit, find the website of the Fresno State theater department. Find what play they’ll be doing in May, and e-mail the information (including the name of the playwright) to me.

Joke of the Day
Late one night, a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into a path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in his ribs.
“Give me your money,” he demanded.
Indignant, the man replied, “You can’t do this – I am a United States congressman!”
“In that case,” replied the mugger, “give me MY money.”
