It's In The Bag

Process

You will divide into groups of 3.  In your group you will determine which member will be responsible for which task:
2-Information Gatherer:  will read articles and report back to the note keeper.
1-Note Keeper: will listen to the information gathers and keep notes on the important information that has been gathered.
All members will be responsible for the content in the individual steps and for the final project.
