Compare and Contrast

All assignments must be completed today to receive full credit. Any assignments not done today will be graded as a zero (0). When the assignment is eventually finished, you will earn only 5 out of the possible 10, because it was late.
Over the break;
1. create a Twitter account and link it to your about.me page

3. post at least one (1) update on Twitter.
Some of you have already created/linked one or both of these accounts. Just make sure that you post at least one (1) update on Twitter over the break. Set a date on your phone's calendar, write yourself a note, send yourself an email or whatever you need to do to not forget to do all 3 of these things.
I will be giving you a grade on the Monday that we return. You will get a ten (10) if all 3 things are done. You will get a zero (0) if any of the 3 are not done (including the post on Twitter).
