  the hyperlinks connecting the points on slide
  three to the correct Clues have already been
  created. Once you have created one review, you
  can give the blank PowerPoint show and these
  directions to students and assign them to create
  the next review. Students, in groups of five, can
  make up 5 Clues each one for each category, or
  each in charge of a category of their own.
