Homework: Write the draft of your personal body art story in two pages. Post your draft in CANVAS. Due: Tuesday, February 2, 2016. (25 pts.)

Today, we will learn all about body art.  You have 15-20 minutes to get with your group to add the finishing touches. Then, "on with the show!"

Guidelines:
1. Each member of the group must present the information related to his or her slides. All speak.
2. Introduce yourselves!
3. Speak up and stand professionally.
5. Look at the audience, not at the computer screen.
6. Use notes or notecards if you wish.
