O. Henry Monologue

I have decided to move the due date of this assignment to Thursday, October 3rd.  Those students that are able to hand in the video and who have followed the instructions accordingly, can hand it in on the original date and receive a 3 point bonus. Make sure you have all the elements in the video, so you won´t lose points. Please post an "OKAY", so I will know you entered the blog. Enjoy your weekend.
