You may choose no more than six topic quizzes(no vocabulary quizzes).  For each topic for which you successfully create a quiz you can add up to 10 points to the that quiz grade. Follow the directions below exactly and explicitly  in order to complete this opportunity.  Failure to follow directions for this opportunity will result in not getting some or all of the extra bonus points.

Create a document that will become a mock quiz. Click "Save As" and save the document in this format: yourname.quizname.docx(the file type has to be either .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .pdf, or .rtf). Here is an example:JaneSmith.ExecutiveBranch.docx
