Your PR Project  Last class period, you received a packet with instructions for this project.  There are 2 components: written and oral.  The written component is the same thing you completed for the school district.  Be sure to use the packet, to ensure that you have all requirements  The oral component is your group presentation.  Again, be sure to refer to the packet to ensure that you have prepared for the presentation.  You also have a rubric showing how you will be scored.  This will convert to 150 points. 100 points for the written and 50 points for the presentation. This is a rather large project, so stay focused and get it done!!!
