Writing Mechanics:

The goal of your presentation is to use correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization.

Teamwork:

The easiest way to complete any group project is to work together.  The group needs to brainstorm and discuss ideas.  These ideas need to be respected by all group members.  Together, respect each others strengths when assuming a role toward the creation of your presentation.  Once the first draft is completed, as a group evaluate the project making corrections where ever necessary.  Members of your group need to encourage contributions from all members.
