Attention 3rd and 5th period:
You have already done part of this assignment on Monday. Today, you are paying close attention to the TASK WORDS and paying attention to the AP KNOWLEDGE QUESTIONS. You are turning in the answers to the AP Knowledge Questions, which should be substantially longer and more detailed than the answers you wrote to the Basic Knowledge Questions. There are two sets of AP Knowledge Questions to answer, one set for the Great Stupa and one set for Angkor Wat. I only need today's work turned in, not Monday's :)
