Point/Hard Copy Last Week: Touch-ups/Editing
Suggestions to Future Groups
Think of ideas to add before starting the power point
Study a little bit on pokémon Be careful as to what sounds/images
are in the presentation Try to have this project done within a
week before due, as many changes and edits will likely be made
