Waves In Action Project

Look over the following instructions and complete the project in google slides. You will upload your slides for to be graded.

THIS IS A SUMMATIVE ASSIGNMENT

Optional Templates for the slide

s: If you want a template to help you, pick one form the following site and scroll to the bottom and select use in google slides.

ALL Works Cited should be in MLA format. Slide 8 (it might take more that one slide) should have all the works sited from each previous slide.
