Hint: Remember what we have learned about preparing PowerPoint presentations and brochures.

· If you are preparing a PowerPoint presentation you must have 10 slides. The first slide must be a title slide containing the name of your state and the people included in your group. The next 8 slides are left up to you to prepare; however, your PowerPoint must contain at least three pictures: one must be of the State Flag, State Flower, and the third is a picture of your choice. The last slide must be your bibliography slide. I suggest that you use a template which is already installed.

· If you are preparing a brochure it must be a 3 sided brochure. Remember you can use the templates installed on Word. If you decide to prepare a brochure your brochure must contain at least three pictures: one must be of the State Flag, State Flower, and the third is a picture of your choice. The brochure must contain two paragraphs describing an interesting place to visit or other information on your choice about your state. It must contain your bibliography information. It must contain general facts about your state (this is the information I have requested that you research). Remember it must also contain both group members’ name.
