that you would like to talk about. Email the name of the place or person to me by

Remember to put your full name and

Step 2- Sign up for a presentation
time.
Step 3- Begin to brainstorm ideas.
Then begin to write.* (some class time)
*You could get ChatGPT to write this
for you in .003 seconds. Hopefully, you will take this as an opportunity to do
some organization, planning, and writing on your own. Of course, the usual VSB
and SHEC policies regarding plagiarism and academic honesty apply. If I see
that your work is plagiarized or translated, or AI- generated. it will get a 0
and a letter in your file.
I know what your writing looks like.
This will be a nice challenge, writing
and speaking to the class.
Some people like to show some
photos. You can use your laptop or phone.
We can check the tech the day before
you present.
*We all want to hear what you have
to say. We are on your side.
