• The words on the poster or the text in the power point must be written by the students in their own words. Students are not allowed to copy and paste information from a website. The words used in this project must come from what the students have learned from their research.
• Students are responsible for their own materials to construct the poster.
• Students will not be able to print images from school.
• Those students who are creating a power point can e-mail their power points to my e-mail or save it on their Morton server student folder.
