Make sure to use as much color as you can on this project. This report must be in a report folder. It must have pictures, and it must have a bibliography. You will get an ‘A’ if you use at least one book, and several internet sources. You can use our textbook, but you then have to use one other book too. If you use only the textbook and internet sources, you can only get a 'C'.

(I have a bibliography format if you need it.)
