and a sentence that will catch the reader's eye. The inside should have
information about the place, person, animal, event, etc. All 4 folds on the
inside should have information and pictures that are factual and go along
with the topic. The back of the pamplet should have a photo, a resource in
which information about this topic may be found, the name of the student, and
the publish/due date. This assignment is due on Tuesday, February, 23, 2010.

written or typed. Pictures alos may be hand drawn or computer generated.
