2. Directions: Title your pages the 4 Worlds
Divide your 2 pages into half, creating four sections.
Title each quadrant beginning with the top left and continuing clockwise with one of the worlds.
Use different colors like in the slides, so the purpose for each world is the same color ect.
You do not need to put anything next to Me in each world. We will work on that together.
