Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome and great to see you, beautiful people!  I hope that you are doing well!  Today in class we will be doing the third and final part of our cultural discussion on cultural interactions.  We will then have more time to work on our Etiquette Projects.  I am excited to see what you all produce!  Below you will find our agenda, homework, and resources for the day.

        3. Pictures 
        4. Remember to use the correct file name (see file naming protocol in blog resources)
      3. As you create your Google Slides, remember the Principles of Good design we have discussed in class.  You can look under the Blog Resources tab for more details on this.  Included are two resources you should consider in your design process.

Homework:
  1. Prepare Etiquette Project Presentation (be prepared to deliver Friday)
    1. Note: presentations will be as a gallery walk.
    2. Since you will not be orally presenting information on your slides, you may want to consider ways of "telling the story" such as including a video clip demonstrating the appropriate etiquette.
      1. If you cannot find one online, maybe consider creating your own short video clip.
That's all for the day folks!  I hope that you are all doing well and enjoying your projects!  Take care and have a great evening!
