Amanda & Nicole (in p.2) asked: “Do we have to make brochures for everyone in the class?”
Make 7 minimum – This goes for comics, pamphlets, brochures, etc. that sort of thing…
Make 15 minimum – This goes for handouts (single page like crossword, word searches, etc.).
This is so that they -the audience- can look at and pass them around the room.
Make one extra special one and then try to duplicate it. Maybe at Kinkos, Office Depot or something.
Wherever you take it for copying, let them know it’s for school and that you’re poor, maybe they’ll give you a discount – hehe. You never know the amount of kindness kind words can pull out of a person. Kind words bring kind deeds and so on.

Step Three – Days 4 to 5
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS STUFF. I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE THAT ONLY THE PAIRS THAT SPOKE TO ME ON FRIDAY AND GOT MY APPROVAL SHOULD POST(WHHHHOOOOPPS, SORry about those caps).
The rest of you should wait ’till we get back to class.
Also, for those of you who do post, including those who’ve already posted (Fara, April, Julio, Gabrielle) read this. . . .
You are working in pairs…No option there. So, those who’ve posted, you need to repost with your teammates name with yours.
For this project there is no “I claim….anything”
There is only, “We….everything.”
So, you have to post as follows:
1. Post team member names. BOTH members.
2. Post the topic claimed.
3. Post a tentative decision for the final product. You are not tied to this, you may change this once (WEDNESDAY).
4. Post a tentative grading rubric.
