Here you will find a range of options for completing your assignment. Pick whichever you like but remember we will only be grading the first 60 points worth of work you complete - you can do more options for fun if you like but you won't be able to earn additional points for them.

Send all work in one email to holherbologyhomework@gmail.com with the subject line "Herbology-Lesson 2-Hol Name". For example, if I was submitting, my subject line would read: Herbology-Lesson 2-Sky Alton. Please remember to also put your Hol Name and House at the top of the email!
