2. Report will be 2 pages typed, double-spaced. Use Times, Geneva, or Helvetica, 12-pt font.

3. Include a bibliography (page 3 of the report) in which you cite at least 4 sources of your

    bibliography form for all your sources.

4. Present your report to the class in a brief oral presentation.  If you would like to show a few photos
