Deal All:

The following are some additional sources for your research. For those of you who are still unsure what to do, let me ease your task by saying that if you choose any of these suggested articles/topics that strike your interest and read them carefully and than present to the class in power point the main points and information in the article it would be acceptable. The connection to your passed and future project can be developed later. Your obligation to the class for now is to bring to the studio any knowledge about our topic. That is research!



This is a must read for the whole class:
