  creativity and thought, your grade will be no
  less than 80. The more thorough and the more
  creative you are in decorating your book, pages
  and sections with drawings, pictures,
  photographs, images, or videos the higher the
  grade will be.
• Any presentation that does not contain all 13
  sections will receive a lower grade regardless of
  how fancy it is. Any book that is haphazardly
  put together will NOT receive a grade. Late
  assignment will be severely penalized.
