3. NEXT DELEGATE!

• Decide how your group will work.
• I suggest that you split the terms among the
  group and assign a few to each member. Then you
  can blend the final shows together.
• Have one person send me the final show but
  everyone in the group must keep a copy in case
  someone is missing on presentation day.
• A Flash drive will be helpful in these transfers.
  They are cheap and necessary for the
  college-bound student.

4. Next Research!

• Googling will slow you down.
• Go back to the WHHS SAT Page where you got this
  file and look at the sources I have found for
  you. Robertsons Words is very useful, but only
  if you SCROOL DOWN THE PAGE and pay attention
• You must work with the computer it will not
  work by itself.
