You do not necessarily need to choose one of these careers for you actual project!! This is more or less designed to give you some insight into where you talents best could be applied. You are to use a variety of sources, both books and Internet, and you should have between five and seven sources. Note cards will be graded the week beginning October 4th. Bibliographies are due October 10th and 13th. They must follow the format on my web page. I will grade your note cards the week of Sept. 26th. Considering this is a semester-long project, the information presented should reflect this. You should have a minimum of 50-60 note cards. Some sections will have more information than others, but you need to be specific in your information. Next quarter, you will receive the PowerPoint information.
