Extra Credit Assignment!

Hello, APUSHers:

Here's a chance to have some fun, get in the holiday spirit and study APUS History, all at the same time!

So, what do you have to do?

http://www.historyteacher.net/AHAP/Projects/HolidayCarolPage.htm

Choose a Christmas, Chanukah, or Kwanza "carol" to re-word.
Then choose an historical topic, event, individual personality, or historical group
and re-word your "carol" with lines pertaining to that choice.
It must be historically accurate and contain the major terms, ideas, etc., associated
with the subject of your "carol."
You must have at least eight, 4-line main stanzas, OR six, 6+ line main stanzas.
[The chorus doesn't figure in to this count, even though you have to re-write
the chorus as well].
Your new version of the "carol" must follow the same pace, cadence, syllables,
and rhyming pattern as the original!
Type out your history "carol" [you can get fancy, if you wish].
DUE DATE: Tuesday Dec. 23rd
