 * Our Agenda:**

Ok girls- good start. Make sure you turn your sources into works cited by using easybib. -Ms. L

5/25 - We've finished 6 slides of our presentation, and it's pretty jam-packed with information. Tonight, Katie's going to work on the powerpoint, and then we're going to attempt to get together to either make a movie or to find one that works with our topic. We'll also find some music for the presentation relative to the decades.

5/26 - We're still working on our two column notes and our powerpoint, but we're pretty much done. Tonight we'll wrap it all up and we'll be ready for presenting tomorrow :)
