The instructor advised all groups that they will need facts and statistics to back up their problem. They will need to find at least two acknowledged experts who have recommended a solution. Finally, they will need to present and justify what the group thinks is the best solution.

To Do for Next Class:

Bring five sources for your topic. Students will write a Works Cited page with these sources. Read and know the material in your research for input at the next class discussion. Annotate (mark up important thoughts) in your research.

The instructor will provide a reading for the next class.
