Pop Culture Project

1. Decide when you would like to present. (It will be a Friday) Keep in
mind, no more than 3 presentations on a given day.
2. Choose your important person from the decade we will be studying at
that time.
3. Begin your plan for research. When will you do it? Do you need a
Dawgs Time pass to a lab?
4. Once you start your research, determine how you can dress up as
your person.
