I have a PowerPoint from A2 on German POW Camps in America. To whom does it belong. I'd like to give you your points! 100/100 on the facts, etc. and 35/30 on your Works Cited list! Found, thanks to a parent!
From B4 there is an unclaimed PowerPoint about Japanese Internment Camps. It has no informal citations and no works cited list -- no sources.
There is also a no-name poster with a picture of Abraham Lincoln in the center.
