Also, this website:

I am confused anout the username/password. Thank you!!
-Chloe C.
Avery, No, unless you can convince me that the event affected the whole state and not just a city in the state. Was the event really historical or just memorable?
Scott, Yes, but we only insert pictures at the end of the report on the very final draft.
Parker, Thursday. Capital of Florida?....:-)
Molly, Try the other websites instead. Glad you like the new look.
Marshall- Just choose ABCor D if you are right it will turn yellow! then below select next question
Hunter - Yes, that's fine. Send me the link please
Little James- Are you sure you can cope with all the work? Haven't you heard Mr. B is a tough teacher?
Chloe - Are you copying the complete address correctly? - Copy/paste the address in the tool bar.
