Please bring a hard copy of the article.
- Supplies you feel comfortable working with that are easy to transport and dry quickly. Some supplies to bring would be an X-acto knife, scissors, glue stick, and a very fine point black marker.
- If you are comfortable working with your laptop, please bring it along for any added research. We can download power points to the flash drive provided or onto your laptop directly. I have numerous power points for you and each of us will be producing 1 or 2 added power points to share with each other.
