Week of May 20, 2013

We will work on our last assignment this week- a research project.  You and a partner will research and plan a 5 day family vacation.  Your goal is to motivate your classmates to buy your vacation plan, and if yours is the top seller, you will get 50 XC points! 
We will be meeting in the library all this week to use the computers.  Remember, you need to have a gmail account to share your presentation with your partner and with me.  Once you have your gmail account set up (see today's handout), email me @ wgmsnd@gmail.com.
