develop and record an audio script to accompany your slideshow. your script should have a concluding statement that restates your thesis and sums up the main points in your slideshow.

your slideshow and script will be part of a collaborative group project, if you are able to collaborate. use the rubric to evaluate your work and work contributed by other members of your group.
