Production Assignment 14

Most students have missing assignments that need to be worked on.  Please make that your first priority as I will not be accepting late work after Christmas Break!  I will be leaving some cameras available with the substitute if people need to check them out.  Please sign the equipment sign out sheet if you will need the camera over night. 

As an extra credit assignment please create a 10 question survey on survey monkey about the top things to do over Christmas Break.    Have at least 20 people in the class take your survey.  Write a 250 word article about the top things students will be doing over Christmas Break.  Please include 3 graphs representing the data.  Post the article by the end of the hour.  If you do complete this article, you will recieve 15 points extra credit added to the project category of your grade.
