Important!!!

Make It Your Own
The information for the bullets on your slides should be in your own words.  Read about your celebrity from several sources, then synthesize what you have read by putting the information into your own words.  


Edit Your Work
Don't forget to edit for capitalization, spelling, punctuation, and other conventions.  Did you know that the titles of books and movies are capitalized (all the important words) and italicized?
