Joshua worked on an assignment which had him read ten (10) different German traditions and write descriptions about them. He is also to pick his favorite, state the reason why he chose it, and write a descriptive paragraph about the tradition. Joshua worked independently, while exchanging relevant comments and pleasantries about the holidays with me while working. The assignment is due tomorrow and is worth 50 points.
