2.- INVESTIGATE. This means that you will probably need to do a little research on the topic you choose. The importance of investigation is to speak about your topic based on solid ground. Inventing or just saying what you think is not enough. You can use sources such as internet, books, libraries or any other one. You should mention the credits you used for your investigation

TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT!!!!

WE ARE NOT EVALUATING YOUR MEMORIZATION SKILLS but the ability you have to talk about what on you are interested.

WE DON’T WANT YOU TO READ but to speak.

WE DON’T CARE IF THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT but the ability you have to say it.

If you are to prepare a poster BE SURE NOT TO HAVE MISTAKES; spelling counts on your grade.

Internet is a good place to find information DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON IT, as well as DO NOT COPY PASTE INFORMATION.
