Students opted to work individually or in groups. They were provided with a topic, worksheet, and selection of reading. Students were to read their selection and then complete their worksheet. This must be done for MONDAY. On Monday, you will be responsible for (informally) presenting your findings/answers to the class.
If you have any questions, come see me. If you were away, come see me for the handouts (I don't have digital copies to post).
