Submit Questions for the news quiz

All, we will start having news quizzes on Friday's. Feel free to submit questions and answers with your name and the period that you are in. Please be careful of questions that have specific numbers or random names. If you do submit and your question is accepted then you will receive one bonus point. You may submit up to 3 questions. News quizzes can range from 10- 20 questions. Use your current events to help you formulate a proper question. Also, just a heads up. We have a shortened week next week and students will not be in attendance on the 14th of October. So we will be submitting 10 current events on October 13th. If all 10 are done correctly following the format you will receive a 5 point bonus.
