Extra Credit for the Third Quarter

The end of the third quarter is rapidly approaching, so you might want to take advantage of the following extra credit:

In order to earn 50 points extra credit, to be placed into your grade wherever needed, complete the following assignment:
Research the phrase, “Beware the Ides of March.” Write a one page essay explaining:
• What the phrase means
• Where it comes from
• Who said it
• The historical context of the phrase (why is it significant?)

You need to include a works cited page that shows where you got your information. No Wikipedia, please!

Please understand that if you do not need the 50 points, the credit will not be placed on top of your grade, only where you are missing points.

Due no later than Thursday, March 15th!
