INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOME OF THE PROJECTS ARE LINKED BELOW.  SOME ALSO HAVE PICTURES. IF YOU ARE UNCLEAR ON HOW TO START OR MAKE YOUR PROJECT, PLEASE COME SEE ME BEFORE STARTING.  REMEMBER - YOU MUST COMPLETE 3 PROJECTS.

IMPORTANT!!! The directions and illustration of the projects are BASIC.  I hope that you use them as a springboard to get to a better model that is a reflection of your creative ideas, effort and time.  Because you have 2 weeks to complete this project - I expect that you put maximum effort into these projects.  The web links I have provided are meant to serve as a starting point.  Your projects will probably require more time on other links.

DO NOT SETTLE FOR THE BARE MINIMUM, or else your grade will reflect the bare minimum.

All projects that ask you to research a person or thing - your final product should be at least 1 page typed, double spaced,and 12 font.
