=** Sept 26—until end of unit. **= Ten minutes from the end of the period take time to email me. At the end of each day email me to summarize you or your group’s progress. There will be a total of 10pts ea. day for the email, only one email per group needed for all to receive credit. You should include an overview of your days research: General themes of research for the day as well as some specific findings (e.g. “we researched Music, and History today…. And found out they listen to a type of music called… and they were founded long before the Europeans showed up…”)
 * Start collecting research today for your country: **

All homework will be emailed to me through your Walatowa email. I won’t accept late work. If you don't know how to use your email, ask a fellow student or contact Elston or Shelley. If you are unable to contact them, send your work through someone else's email as a Word attatchment.
