Topic: The Geographic and Cultural Affect of Early American Architecture on the History of the American People. This paper will be worth 50% of your grade in this class An English teacher will grade it strictly for grammar Every students’ performance needs to be at a college level in order to receive a 70% Complaining will result in an office referral!

Reflection Just Joking! How did the assignment make you feel? If this had been real, how would you have reacted? What would have been the most effective way to act?
