1. Pick your partners based on the topic that you are most interested in presenting. 2. You have a choice based upon the two videos that we have just recently viewed. These videos are “Cancer Warrior” and “Never Say Die”.

If you choose the cancer report, your report may be more factual about a type of cancer. (although you are to pick a creative way to present the material)

If you choose the aging report, your report may be both factual (on what causes aging and how to prevent aging) and imaginative (based on what you think the world would be like if you could live to be 500 – 1000 years old).

Determine which interests you more, find partners to work with you, and fill your names in the blanks below. You will be expected to fill in the roles a bit later as we get into the presentation.

They made it look like a broadcast devoted entirely on how to stop the aging process. They also added to it by discussing what they thought the world would be like in the year 2750. (like our journal writing) They had commercials to advertise anti-aging products, etc………… 8. Use ONE NOTE to save your pictures and info. It will import the website that you need to cite. 9.
