HISTORY - POSTER PAPER needed

We are in need of Poster Paper!

All groups will be/ have been asked to bring in 1 poster paper for their War of 1812 Timeline assignment. (just one of the 3 or 4 students per group may elect to bring it in for their team)
~
~
However, just in case anyone should need a second piece, or any groups may be unable to obtain paper for themselves, Ms. Bock's history classes are in need of kind souls who could bring in extra poster paper to be kept for class use.
~
Any help you can provide would be appreciated, but as an extra incentive those students who do bring in extra poster paper can also earn a small amount of extra credit for their group :)
