1. FIRST THINGS FIRST
• SAVE THIS FILE TO YOUR OWN FILES!
(NOT A TEMP FILE!)
TITLE IT: WR LAST NAME
(EX: WR ARTHRELL)
IF YOU DO NOT IDENTIFY YOUR FILE
THIS WAY I WILL NOT OPEN IT AND
YOU WILL GET A ZERO.
• SAVE OFTEN!!!!
2. NEXT –READ!!!
• GO THROUGH THE SLIDE SHOW AND
READ EVERY PAGE
• THEN COME BACK TO HERE AND
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
• IF YOU DON’T READ THROUGH
EVERYTHING, YOUR JOB WILL BE
HARDER FOR YOU
• READ ALL OF THE DIRECTIONS!!!!
3. NEXT –DELEGATE!
• Decide how your group will work.
• I suggest that you split the terms among the group
and assign a few to each member. Then you can
blend the final shows together.
• Have one person send me the final show but
everyone in the group must keep a copy in case
someone is missing on presentation day.
• A Flash drive will be helpful in these transfers.
They are cheap and necessary for the collegebound student.
4. Next – Research!
• Googling will slow you down.
• Go back to the WHHS SAT Page where you
got this file and look at the sources I have
found for you. Robertson’s Words is very
useful, but only if you SCROOL DOWN
THE PAGE and pay attention
• You must work with the computer – it will
not work by itself.

• Remember to use SAT vocabulary – aim for grade-level
appropriate words.
• Please use a readable font and make everything clear for
the viewer. (Points will be taken away for this)
• Artistic license OK, but don’t overdo!
• You have three class days only to complete this. Your
work must be MAILED TO ME BY THURSDAY
MORNING BERFORE SCHOOL NO EXCEPTIONS!
• This means that you may have to work on your own
outside of class. What a concept!
• You must be ON-TASK and working – not socializing or
playing with the computer – or you will lose points from
your final product.
• I am aware that we are NOT using proper citations.
